Arran White Stag 3rd Release Single Malt Whisky

This is the Third Release of Arran’s White Stag, Bottled on 12th September 2017 from Sherry Hogsheads this is a limited edition of only 695 bottles. Nose: Apricots (boiled compote) with the full citrus fruit assembly in the background. Spicy maybe lavender or (wet) heather. Very nicely balanced. A touch of sulky old French wine caves/cellars. From a sweet & spicy sherry cask? Very complex with nicely integrated alcohol. Again a perfect composure! Palate: The same complex spiciness. Heather and lavender impressions. A touch of white pepper added and malty imaginations of gingerbread and Christmas bakery. Finish: Very, very long finish and the complex spiciness stays on and on.
