01- Nose: Smells of grass and a fruity mixture of apple and honey
02- Palate: taste of apple and melted sugar/honey with a hint of rocksalt and cinnamon candies
03- Finale: Long and rich
General impression This is an excellent desert whiskey that i could just dream of eating a brownie with
Cole
01- Nose: Rich smells of vanilla and hazeluts with hints of orange peel which seems to be a them with the family
02- Palate: The soft fruity notes of apples and raisins which comes from its port cask background with a mild cinnammon flavour
03- Finale: Lengthy but sweet and warming
General impression all in all even though im not the biggest fan of port, the port cask with the Arran helps accentuate its already sweetish background
Cole
01- Nose: Strong aromas of fresh sherry but also a light citrusy smell like lemon peel and slight floral notes
02- Palate: tastes of figs and raisins along with notes of milk chocolate
03- Finale: medium to long with notes of drying sherry and oak
General impression out of them all this would be the Arran that i would reccomend to someone whos new to the world of single malts with its easy but flavourful palate
Cole
01- Nose: Riche, fruits confits.
02- Palate: Il est citronné, huileux, belle texture, on pourrait le garder longtemps en bouche, il est agréable.
03- Finale: Longue, tout en chaleur, agréablement épicée, crémeuse.
General impression Le redbreast 12 ans est pour ma part une très belle découverte, je recommande. Il est un single pot still qui est unique à l’irlande. Il est maturé en fût de chêne pour une duré de 12 ans. C’est un whisky complet, à saveurs complexe avec une belle texture crémeuse.

General impression
Veronica
01- Nose: oak and sweetness from the sherry cask
02- Palate: honey, oak and spice (clove)
03- Finale: Long finish of sweet and spice
General impression Whisky matured between 9 to 12 years – characterized as spicy and fruity
Veronica
01- Nose: Honey sweetness
02- Palate: wood spice more present in the 15 than the 12, honey sweet as well
03- Finale: Long finish and spice
General impression unlike the 12 year, it is bottled at a higher proof – ABV 46.0 – Oloroso sherry and bourbon barrels – characterized as fruity and sweet and spicy
Veronica
01- Nose: Orange, cacao, doux, fruité
02- Palate: huileux, chocolat, miel, fruits rouge
03- Finale: sucrée, sherry, un peu longue
General impression Très bon whisky, facile a boire, idéal en pairing avec du chocolat noir. Pour ceux qui aime les whisky qui sont ”frais” en bouche, c’est l’idéal. Même si personnellement je trouve que les whisky Irlandais ont tous une ressemblance a l’odeur, celui-la se distingue selon moi avec un bon équilibre de saveur.
