Arran 8 Year Sauternes Cask Finish (2017)


All the Arran I've had - which is somewhat limited to samplings from three bottles - has been very good stuff, and always has a bit of an unusual angle to it. This here is their official Sauternes cask finished offering - 8 years in ex-bourbon, an undisclosed amount of time in the Sauternes casks (which is a type of sweet, syrupy dessert wine) - my guess would be a one year finish or less, maybe. Usually distilleries get a little shy about putting single digit ages on the label, so I'd guess it's less than two years for sure.
