The finish is rich yet delicate, leaving a lingering impression. 【Good/Very Good】 This is a new release from Official Manager's Choice, Isle of Arran 1996, aged for approximately 18 years in a sherry cask. It offers a sherry character free from the woody, raw qualities often found in recent releases, with a notable strawberry jam-like nuance in the aroma. Despite its high ABV, it has a smooth mouthfeel and is not a heavy-bodied, aromatic whisky. While slightly small-grained, it remains a charming sherry-forward Arran with good balance between sweet-tart fruits and malt. A drinkable sherried malt that is easy to enjoy in succession.
