From the Provenance range of Douglas Laing's collection. Provenance gives us access into single cask whisky at great ages and value for money, this Arran really proves that point. So this is an 8 year old, ex bourbon barrel Arran. Distilled in 2013 and bottled November 2021 with a yield of 343 bottles is a great example of single cask whisky reaching great heights. On the nose it shows hard candy and spiced oak backed by a lovely malty sweetness. The palate is gloriously thick and creamy with fresh tropical fruit and maple syrup. The finish is long, butter and rich, showing orange citrus and a lovely oatiness.£47.50 take off your 10% is £42.75! 

Nose - Hard candy is apparent alongside spiced oak and a real sweet malty style

Back to our pals at Morrisons Distillers and the Carn Mor Strictly Limited range. This month a Dailuaine, finished in a Sauternes cask. Distilled in 2012 and bottle in 2021 yielding 816 bottles, bottled at 9 years old and 47.5% ABV. This is why I love wine cask finishes and the ability they have of imparting super interesting flavors within the drams. Right off the bat you get a lovely floral rosewater scent on the nose, delicate yet direct. The palate shows a lovely almost minty bergamot freshness, followed by this medium finish giving you chocolate hazelnuts at the end. £62.50 shelf price. 10% off £56.25 is your price.
