Arran 10 Year Old

This was a (OB) sample bottle I got for free with my last purchase:

Nose: Fresh and malty. Vanilla sweetness with a distinct whiff of unripe tangerine, interwoven with a very vague sea breeze.

Mouth: Medium body. All sorts of fruitiness going on – kiwis, pear drops, cantaloupe. Then citrus notes & some cinnamon. Definitely tastes young, but nice.

Finish: Relatively short. Clean and sweet. Those tangerines are back.

Average but perfectly civilized. Good balance hints at the excellent craftsmanship @ The Arran distillery. Very curious to try their upcoming 18 year old…
