Nose: Apples, apple wax and slightly floral honey. Vanilla and a touch of oak. Delicious and graceful.

Taste: Rich and almost chewy in character. The same lovely apples, this time served with sugar glaze and caramel sauce.

Finish: Medium to long finish. The same and oh so lovely sweet fruitiness. Lands in a lake of caramel sauce.

Comment: Arran always delivers!
