Arran James MacTaggart Anniversary Edition. Image courtesy Isle of Arran Distillery. This whisky honors Arran distillery manager James MacTaggart’s 10th anniversary with some of the first-fill ex-Bourbon casks filled under his stewardship in 2007. The nose has notes of  honey, vanilla, a hint of lemon custard, brown sugar, and fresh peaches. The taste is mouth-filling and slightly astringent at first, then subtle notes of ginger, allspice, and cinnamon take over with lemon custard, peaches, and vanilla underneath. The finish is very long and slightly dry with subtle spices that last and last. Excellent! (October, 2017)
