Wine Notebook, Part 34 (December 22, 2007)
by the Wine Baron
Snowy
day, lots of Christmas shoppers on the streets. Feelings
of anticipation of celebrating with family. Ah, it
feels good. Decided to stop in at the Ancaster Old Mill
at the end of the day for a nice Scotch. Wine Steward
Don gave me something special.
The Arran Malt -
A single
malt scotch is always a brilliant way to relax at the
end of a day. I liked this limited edition which had
hand written notes of when it was distilled, cask
number, etc. Aromas of vanilla lead to tropical
fruit and melon. A hint of dark chocolate. Flavors of
citrus, cinnamon, smooth texture, yet with quite a kick.
Light oak notes as well. The finish is powerful.
