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.

James MacTaggart, Master Distiller at Arran has crafted this final part of the Devil's Punch Bowl Trilogy to, "bring the curtain down in dramatic style." A careful blending of 21 casks (8 Oloroso, 8 French Oak Barriques and 5 Bourbon Barrels), this is James' favourite of the Trilogy.

Interestingly Chapter III features no peated whisky but does introduce French Oak into the mix.

Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butts, French Oak Barriques & Bourbon Barrels
