Ruaraidh Special Edition Single Malt from Arran
Filed under: Spirits
Enthusiasts of Scotland's island whiskies may already be familiar with The Arran Malt. Distilled in Lochranza on the Isle of Arran, the single malt scotch has gained a following among drinkers and tourists alike. Now the distillery is launching the latest bottling in its special Icon of Arran range.Ruaraidh (apparently pronounced "roo-ree" – don't get us started on Gaelic) honors the distillery's de facto mascot, distillery manager James MacTaggart's Scottish terrier. If you've visited the distillery you may have seen Ruaraidh running about the grounds, and now his face and name adorn this unique bottling.
The product of 12 years of maturation, the Ruaraidh malt was laid down in ex-Olorosso sherry hogshead barrels back in 1998, and is now being offered in a limited edition, non-chill filtered and uncolored series of 6,000 bottles.
