This is the third icons of Arran bottling, following the 1996 Peacock (one of my favourite whiskies) and 1997 Rowan Tree. Drawn from 22 ex-sherry hogsheads, and named after the distillery manager James McTagger's dog Ruaraidh
Nose: Heatherhoney
Palate : Heatherhoney, butterscotch, a creamy slight bitter nuttyness, sweet
Finish : Medium and sweet
Rating 83
Comments: These icons of Arran's are very affordable good whisky
2. Deanston 12yo 46.3%
Nose : Vanilla
Palate: Spicy, nutty, tastes a lot older than 12yo. The woodspices sticks on your backpalate and gives this a woody spicy finish as if this was a far older whisky. Very intense in its flavours.
Finish: Medium-long
Comments: This is surprisingly good for a 12yo standard bottling. My favourite of the new Burn Stewarts. I hope they can keep up this quality. Did they put something in this mini ? :-). Wow
