Rating: 8/10
This is an excellent bottling. The fruits are nice, the bread and malt are there, and the spices and dark chocolate really bring it all together as a harmonious experience. The heavy fruits brought by the Cognac finish (I assume) really make this an excellent drink that goes great with the base Arran malt spirit. Well done by Arran and PM Spirits.
