Arran Single Malt Sauternes Cask Finish Review
In a stunning collaboration, this whisky finishes its maturation in Sauternes casks — one of the world’s great sweet wines. This union was clearly meant to be, as honey, white flowers, and decadent ripe stone fruits kick off the tasting experience. What follows is a rich, luscious texture that coats the mouth and finishes beautifully. Sip this over one large ice cube and enjoy.
