Arran The Exciseman Smugglers Series

The third and final release in the series, The Exciseman brings together whiskies matured in bourbon quarter casks and Madeira casks. (The latter being a nod to casks used by illicit distillers on Arran, who acquired them from Madeira smugglers.) Rather than a celebration of the feared exciseman, this Arran single malt “pays tribute to the exuberant character of those striving to outwit the Government’s representatives”!

Rich on the nose with sweet vanilla, a touch of spice and toasted oak. To taste there is an abundance of apple, pear and biscuits. The finish is long, luxurious and delightfully fresh. This is a typical Arran malt and does not disappoint.
