Arran – 2007 12 Year Old Private Cask #756 For Save The Waverley Appeal (70cl, 59.6%)

Arran – 2007 12 Year Old Private Cask #756 For Save The Waverley Appeal is a whisky from Arran (Islands). Aged 12 years, bottled at 59.6% 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 private cask has been specially bottled with the aim to raise awareness for the Save the Waverley Boiler Refit Appeal. The Waverley is the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world and is registered on the National Historic Fleet as being a vessel of pre-eminent national significance. Please note residue on bottle
