1998 Robert Burns Arm Single Malt 250th Anniversary Edition

Tasting Notes: 1987 Martinez Vintage Port

Here are the tasting notes for the 1998 Arran Robert Burns 250th Anniversary Edition, a limited release commemorating the birth of Scotland’s national poet:

Arran Robert Burns 250th Anniversary (1998 Vintage, Bottled 2008)

Age: 10 Years

ABV: 43%

Bottles Released: 6,000

Region: Isle of Arran, Islands (Non-Islay)

Nose: Zesty and bright with sweet lemon and lime. Slightly musty, with a damp off-note that some tasters found distracting

Palate: Light-bodied and somewhat thin. Dominated by citrus fruit, with a sweet edge. Late notes of mint leaves or spearmint, adding freshness

Finish: Medium length. Fruity but not particularly memorable

A solid performer with a lively citrus profile, though the nose may underwhelm. Best appreciated as a commemorative dram rather than a powerhouse malt
