Arran The High Seas Smugglers Series Volume 1

The first release in the new series from this Arran Island based distillery is a nod to the rich history of the illicit whisky trade in the 18^th and 19^th centuries in their home island. Each new release features packaging which recalls the hiding places used by smugglers, starting with a book which has a cut out space to hold the bottle. The whisky itself was matured in port pipes and has a heavy peat influence which the distiller has said is similar to the whisky produced on the island in the past. Notes of citrus, apples, peaches, wood and leather on the nose. Tasting powerful and rich with sharp smoked oak, citrus fruits reappearing along with apple, ginger. A refreshing and spicy finish.
