Arran – James MacTaggart Master of Distilling II 12 year old Whisky

James MacTaggart has been the Master Distiller and Blender at Arran distillery for over a decade. This rare, collectable, Limited Edition whisky is a celebration of his many contributions to the tremendous success of this exciting young distillery.

Nose: Bright and mouth-watering; Seville orange marmalade, peaches and mango freshness are followed by the warmth of root ginger and a waft of drying grass and gorse bushes.

Palate: Rich in chocolate orange, quince jelly and the zest of citrus fruits. The subtle tang of yeasty, buttered sourdough and a kick of rock salt come through as the Palo Cortado cask displays its influence.

Finish: Cider apples accentuate Arran house style before the warmth of ginger returns alongside a rich impression of these exceptional sherry casks.
