Glad to see this & hear that you both like the Sherry Cask. Not seeing an age statement I’m assuming it is an NAS? I bought a bottle of the Robert Burns & always heard two different stories: 1) that it was a blend of Arran single malts laid down at Springbank when Arran was closed; 2) that it was actually distilled by Springbank. Don’t know which to be true, if either is. Arran Distillery has been back open long enough to be putting out some aged malt now. I need to pay closer attention to what they are doing.Sorry, no hat, though of course I did wear a couple today.
We opened a bottle of Arran Sherry Cask. Loved it. We’ve ordered another bottle and one of the Quarter Cask.

Yes, no age statement. At 55.8, it’s a similar strength to the Scarabus Batch Strength, but a lot smoother. Etsuko couldn’t handle the Scarabus without some ice added. The Arran, on the other hand was a lot smoother, but still very flavourful. She loved it straight (as did I).Glad to see this & hear that you both like the Sherry Cask.

Super nice Champ, HJ.Saison de Lis brewed at Perennial Artisan Ales, St. Louis, MO. 5% ABV. A fancy name for a too mild Belgian style Saison. Under a Champ.
