Isle of Arran (Peated) 8 Year Old

Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Smoky woodiness, intriguing minerality, bright and vegetal…why are we thinking about mezcal right now!? Keep sipping, though, and there are malty layers with warm, buttered scones, and milk chocolate. Another banger from Arran!

Tasting Notes

NOSE: Leads with a smoky woodiness (ash in a wood burning stove, dry firewood) before becoming a little minerally (wet river rocks, warm mud) with fresh pine tar and a grounded sweetness a la banana chips.

PALATE: Bright and vegetal with yellow fruits, cracked pepper, celery salt, smoked rhubarb, and a warm caramel softness. After subsequent sips the flavors become quite malty (think Ovaltine) with buttered scones and milk chocolate.

FINISH: Moderate length with lingering wood smoke, echoes of cracked pepper, and celery soda.
