Tasting Notes
Arran James MacTaggart Producer Tasting Notes
Nose: Freshly made cider, coconut water/fresh shavings, lemon oil and a hint of sea brine
Palate: The warmth of white pepper is immediate and then softens as boiled sweets start to show. Apple pastries, barley sugar and a complex winey note are in the mid-palate.
Finish: The finish is long and has all the freshness of a well-made whisky-sour cocktail which sweetens to candy floss as it fades slowly. A delightful expression of Arran where the true character and complexity shines through beautifully.
