SMWS 121 . 77 Dunnage warehouse orange boxes , Arran , 19 years , Refill HogsheadAppearance 0 . 8 , Deep GoldNose Combination bourbon cask influence and brine I get salty peanut brittle , vanilla and caramel , hints of some citrus orange , tinged with lemon . Quite grainy and malty . Taste Thick mouthfeel , vanilla , salted caramel , oak and white pepper , mandarin orange , clove and anise , slightly astringent . Finish More brine exerts itself on the finish lingering vanilla and golden syrup . A hint of chocolate cake . Fairly long . Notes As far as bourbon matured scotches go , this is an excellent one . The bourbon influence is clear , with all the hallmarks of a scotch that has had plenty of time to pick up influence from the barrel . I ' m not sure if it ' s a problem with Arran ' s base spirit for me , but this one is just under whelming . Maybe my expectations were too high , but I thought a 19 year old Arran would just be . more . Score 84100
