Description

The Arran Smugglers' Series Volume Three - The Exciseman is the third and final release in the celebrated Smugglers' Series from the Isle of Arran Distillery. This limited edition expression pays tribute to the exuberant character of those striving to outwit the Government's representatives during Arran's history of illicit distillation and smuggling. It was matured in a combination of bourbon quarter casks and Madeira casks, which add layers of rich fruit, sweetness, and spice, delivering exceptional depth and intensity.
