Dried fruits, vanilla and toffee dominate the roma of the 14year old. With a little water a salty tang appears whilst caramelised Fruits indicate the depth of flavour to come. An initial burst of brine leads onto warming toffee apples and hazelnuts. This is followed by dates, chocolate orange and spiced tea cake. The mouthfeel is overwhelmingly rich and weighty. A trademark Arran finish with cinnamon spices leading back to where the experience began, with a classic island-style salty wave balancing the sweet fruit of the palate.
