Soft, approachable and quietly classic in style, this Speyside malt opens with lifted aromas of stewed apple, apricot and floral honey, layered with hints of roasted nuts and light toffee. The palate is rounded and easy-going, showing orchard fruit, vanilla custard and baking spice, with a gentle sweetness balanced by drying oak and a touch of light smoke.

Rich, opulent and distinctly modern in its sherried style, this Arran opens with waves of chocolate-covered raisins, mandarin peel and warm baking spice. The palate is full and chewy, showing ripe fig, dark cherry and cocoa, balanced by a vibrant thread of citrus and spice that keeps things lifted.
