Arran Cote Rotie Finish Old Bottling Single Malt 50% ABV 700ml
A limited edition single malt from Arran, which, after initially maturing in oak casks, was specially chosen by the master distiller to be finished in Côte-Rôtie red wine casks. It was bottled without chill filtration or colouring, with the vibrant liquid having gained its rosy hue from the casks themselves.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Nose - Oodles of oak spices, jammy dark berries and subtle floral violet aromas.
Palate - Bucketfuls of dark chocolate balanced by a dash of citrus, with lots of dried fruit alongside fresh fig and plum, with a hint of charred oak.
Finish - Delicate whispers of smoke support notes of candied fruit and a fairly spicy finish.
