Arran Small Batch Heavily Peated Limited Edition Netherlands Exclusive
Lot number: 093-0939
Winning bid: £70
Situated in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran was once a hotbed of illicit distillation and smuggling. Eventually though the dreaded Excise men got the best of Arran's renegade stillmen, and the island was without a working distillery from 1837. That all changed in 1995 when the Arran distillery at Lochranza started production.
Although it is a relative youngster, Arran's investment in quality casks has paid dividends, and its popularity continues to soar like the Golden Eagles that nest nearby. This quick success, combined with high visitor numbers at the Lochranza distillery, have enabled the company to construct another distillery at Lagg, on the south of the island, that will focus on creating peated whisky.
This small batch Arran has been peated to 50ppm, and released exclusively for The Netherlands.
Distilled: 2007
Cask Type: Bourbon
56.1% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: One of only 1500 bottles released
