I tried this Arran to complete the Cask Finish series. Within this series he is in my view the worst and not really recommended. The whisky is not round, flat and with alcoholic impact - 11.05.2019 Fast forward, and Arran decides to undertake a rebranding of their core range. According to Andy Bell, Arran’s Head of Sales and Strategy for Europe and the Nordic Isle, there were several factors that led to that rebranding. Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. Not bad for it's price but defenetely too young and not well balancied. Defenetely overrated for me. If you consider this one as an entry into sherry cask world it is not the best choise - you will get the wrong impression.

However, it’s true in many instances that more time in the cask does better integrate Sherry influence and the distillery character, especially if you compare that to younger Sherry-cask whiskies that are done disingenuously. Excerpt: Clean, bright orchard fruit blends in nicely with strawberry rhubarb pie, light toffee, dates, dark chocolate, and polished oak. Long, soothing, oily finish. Another solid effort from this young distillery.Nose: Herbal, biscuity, hedgerow greenness and dried grass, like a long English summer's afternoon. Nose: rich sherry, perfectly clean. Fresh figs and cherry liqueur, some orange peel and cinnamon. Also pepper and hints of hay. Minty notes and crystallized ginger. Subtle vanilla and floral notes too, in fact it’s rather light and youthful, not as heavyweight as some others.

They said the old design had served its purpose, so they wanted to reimagine the bottling design to make it modern and more effective in communicating their brand values, like the importance they place on the soft water they use at the distillery – on the new design, this is shown by the “ripples” on the bottle’s shoulder.Palate: Loads of juicy sherry influence, with chocolate-dipped cherries, raisins and a touch of caramel. I quite like this. It's interesting in that it displays some really well executed balanced. Nice work, Arran. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Aged exclusively in sherry hogsheads, this new expression in Arran's portfolio after their recent redesign. Bottled at cask strength without coloring or filtering, this should be an interesting one to try. Let's dive in.

Taste: Big sherry arrival with fruit cake, raspberry and dark chocolate. Pepper and nutmeg add warming spice before a dry charred oak finish. It also didn’t help Arran’s case that they intended to sell single malt rather than make the wiser and more practical decision of bottling blends, or selling their whisky for use in blends. After all, other than a few distilleries that sold single malts like Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, and those that were part of Diageo’s classic malts, blends were largely the way by which many distilleries survived during that time. Yet another contradiction in Arran’s history. I only tried my first Arran last month, it was the 18 and was superb! It is my favourite Sherry casked whisky so far to date.

Based on the tasting notes I was looking forward to trying this but unfortunately the sample was a major disappointment. Medium mouth feel. Nice jammy component. Pepper, toffee, some fresh baked cake. A bit of heat, but nothing punishing. Really balanced between fruity and jammy and bread-y and pepper-y. I like it.
