Arran
The Devils Punchbowl Chapter II – 'Angels & Devils’ 53.1%
17 sherry casks, 6 unpeated bourbon casks and 4 peated bourbon casks ranging from 1997 to 2004.
Tasted: Sept 2013
Initially the aromas are quite phenolic and heavily peated with medicinal herbal, bog myrtle notes, followed by some sumptuous dried sherry fruits, crystallised orange and spices along with hints of honey and Madeira cake. Finally some clean American oak vanillins purposefully stride in. Beautifully balanced and complex. With time hints of earth appear and the herbal notes take on a light nuttiness as the sherry notes become lightly perfumed.
The palate opens with the sherried prunes, dates, sultana and walnut along with some Satsuma and tangerine. Next comes some earthy-peat, malt and creamy oak vanillins. Quite herbal and piquant on the middle with the dried fruit, oak and costal notes coming in waves. The finish is very fresh and dry given the combination of alcohol, salt and some dusty, lightly coffee’d tannins, but there’s a pleasant mouth-watering citrus twist to the finish. In conclusion I think this is even better than the first bottling, - less rugged and a little more polished……………And the sherry component is as clean as a whistle!
