Intro:
Distilled at Arran, on the Isle of Arran, this bottling carries a unique story as a new entry in the newly released PM Spirits Projects bottlings. This is a blend of two casks, both at least 24 years old, bottled in July 2020 without coloring or filtering.
-
Nose:
Apple, honey, pear. Light malty character, with some lovely floral quality.
-
Taste:
Really sweet on the palate. Reminds me of fruit syrup - in a good way. Apple, peaches, pears, vanilla bean. Light butterscotch, rising bread, a hint of flaky pastry. Little bit of oak, not a ton.
-
Finish:
Long finish. Complex. Hint of pepper and sulfur, but just a little. Delightfully sweet, loaded with fruit character and a finish that endures.
-
Overall:
Overall, big fan. A very nice release from a producer that I don’t always jive with. Arran nailed this release, and PM did us all right by bottling it.
