 Meet
Ruaraidh (pronounced Roo-ree) the West
Highland Terrier who belongs to Isle of
Arran Distillery Manager James
MacTaggart. Ruaraidh is independent of
character with a mischievous glint in
his eye and is much admired by visitors
to the Arran Distillery in Lochranza.
Ruaraidh is the inspiration for the name
of the third bottle in the Icons of
Arran Series.
This new limited
edition bottling was drawn from 22
ex-Sherry Hogsheads distilled in 1998
and specially selected by James
MacTaggart under the careful supervision
of Ruaraidh of course. After 12 years of
maturation this expression of Arran is
rich & warming with a delightful
complexity.
The Icons of Arran
The Westie was bottled at 46% ABV, it is
non chill-filtered with no added
colouring and is a limited edition of
6000 bottles which will be distributed
worldwide.
Given the quality of
the first two Icons of Arran bottlings I
expect that this new addition to the
series will appeal to both the whisky
collector and connoisseur.
