The wine

The third edition in the Arran Smugglers Series, after The Illicit Still and High Seas. This range pays tribute to the era in which the island was home to illicit distillers, in the 18th and 19th century. The bottle is modelled on old bottles from the time and hidden in a fake book. Released in 2017, this edition was matured in Madeira casks and bourbon quarter casks.

The distillery Arran (Isle of)

Scotland, Isle of Arran. Distillery operational. Owner: Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd. Independent distillery

On 11 November 1991, Isle of Arran joined the very small circle of independent Scottish distilleries. Founded at the initiative of Harold Currie, former director of Chivas and House of Campbell, the distillery began producing whisky at the end of June 1995, drawing to a close a 150-year absence of whisky production on the island. In late 1998, the distillery released the first edition of its malt in a limited edition (1,000 bottles worldwide), the cask strength Arran 1995 (60.3%). In 1999, the classic version at 43% ABV, was released in a limited number of markets. It would not be until 2002 that the first single casks were released, from vintages 1995 and 1997, revealing the distillery owners' bold and determined character and willingness to experiment with all types of maturation, from port to calvados, cognac and rum. In 2019, Isle of Arran celebrated its double figures with the release of an Arran 18 Year Old and and an Arran 21 Year Old.
