Introduction
The Arran 10 is a firm favourite in the whisky world. In fact, it was Ralfy’s 2021 Whisky of the Year (if you don't know who Ralfy is, you need a youtube binge!
Nose
The nose is really quite inviting. It's initially a sweet honey, with some comforting toasted oats, freshly baked apple crumble, and freshness in the form of a grassy herbal note.
Palate
Sweet pear drops from a proper old sweetie shop! Vanilla cream and honey also add some sweetness, with an acidic citrus cutting through (but not enough to decide if it's lemon or otherwise). Quite a spicy lingering towards the end, like you've had a ginger shot!
Conclusion
A very pleasant dram! If you were to have this as a regular sipper, you wouldn't go far wrong. For the price (under £40), it's a solid dram for enjoying when you want something unfussy but tasty all the same!
