Arran Explorers Series III
The Arran Explorers Series is a collection of limited edition expressions of The Arran Single Malt. Each edition celebrates the outstanding scenic beauty and diversity of nature on the Isle of Arran. The picturesque village of Kildonan is situated on the southern coast of the Isle of Arran, with the small pear-shaped island of Pladda, just 1km from the coastline. The privately-owned island is home to Pladda lighthouse which was designed by Thomas Smith and is still active today. Established in 1790, the lighthouse has a commanding position at the southern end of the island. The stunning view of Pladda can be seen clearly from Kildonan which is home to Silver Sands, one of the most beautiful beaches on Arran. Kildonan also boasts a castle which along with Lochranza Castle and Brodick Castle were important fortresses guarding Arran’s
strategically important position in the approaches to the Firth of Clyde.
This view of Pladda island and Ailsa Craig from Kildonan is best taken in with a
dram of The Arran Single Malt in hand. This particular expression is 21 Years Old and has been matured in Ex-Sherry Butts and Puncheons before being finished in Ruby Port Casks sourced directly from Portugal. The resulting whisky perfectly captures the breathtaking views of this part of the island. Take your senses on an adventure around the Isle of Arran.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose Rich and fruity; The “Arran” style remains
at the heart of this whisky, with candied orange peel, nectarine and parma violets. Stewed summer fruits with a drizzle of vanilla custard.
Palate Sweet and tangy with a burst of strawberry liquorice, fresh raspberries
and ginger. Cask influence adds another layer to the sweet fruit character, with
flakes of hazelnut in the development.
Finish A truly multi-layered dram with a long lasting finish of red fruit, oak and a hint of tobacco.

Bunnahabhain 2004 limited release
Unexpectedly I managed to get my hands on another Bunnahabhain Moine Brandy release. For those who missed it, when I offered it the first time, this is your chance to get your hands on it.
This limited edition is special indeed and is the first time brandy casks have been used at Bunnahabhain. Grape and dried fruit from the wood complement the nutty, smoky character of the malt perfectly.
Efva an artistic Mackmyra and some Vinterglöd matured in mulled wine casks – Final 1.5 week of Mackmyra Month
Moment Efva is an elegant single malt whisky produced from a creative collaboration with jewellery designer, Efva Attling.
Following a tour at Mackmyra’s main storage in Bodås, Efva has – together with Master Blender, Angela D’Orazio – handpicked some of our finest casks. The 19 casks that caught Efva’s attention were mainly Oloroso, American oak and ex-Bourbon barrels, a majority of which had been saturated with Swedish birch tree sap wine. After a request to create more prominent sweetness, resulted in the use of a cask which had previously held cherry wine.
The result is a sophisticated and fruity whisky, with soft notes of oak and birch, combined with slight spicy tones of red berries.
The edition is ornamented with a polished silver cork, designed by Efva.

Mackmyra Vinterglöd (winter glow) is an elegant Swedish single malt whisky distilled at Mackmyra Bruk. This whisky is inspired by the Swedish winter tradition of drinking mulled wine during the colder months of the year.
Vinterglöd carries notes of orange, candied fruit and almond, together with oak and a ginger-like spiciness. The aromatic profile of the whisky comes from its aging in casks that previously held Swedish mulled wine and Pedro Ximénez Sherry. An unique choice for your winter traditions!
Vinterglöd is a collaboration with Saturnus Glögg.
