Arran – 17 Year Old 2014 Release (70cl, 46%)

Arran – 17 Year Old 2014 Release is a whisky from Arran (Islands). Aged 17 years, bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. 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 is 2014’s release of Arran 17 year old, marking one year closer to the launch of their 18 year old, which makes up the 16, 17 and 18 year old trilogy.
