Arran Smuggler's Series Volume 3 The Exciseman (2017) 70cl
This stunning ‘The Exciseman’ expression is the third volume of the Arran Smugglers Series, created at the popular island distillery. It was matured in ex-bourbon quarter casks and Madeira casks. The distillery chose Madeira casks in honour of the illicit distillers who were creating whisky over a hundred years ago on Arran, sourcing their casks from Madeira smugglers.
Despite being called “The Exciseman”, the Arran distillery has stated that this whisky actually “pays tribute to the exuberant character of those striving to outwit the Government’s representatives”.
With it’s beautiful bottle and box design and delicate and complex range of notes, this is a superb limited edition whisky that you don’t want to miss out on.
Nose The rich honeyed character is immediate on the nose, luxuriously decadent. The fresh coastal character is also evident. Apples, vanilla and a touch of spice are also subtly present with a hint of toasted oak.
Palate It coats the tongue and the notes of apple and vanilla are in abundance. No hint of dryness on the palate, it grows in sweet intensity and provides a rounded mouthfeel. The addition of water opens up the complexity beautifully and reveals a lighter sweetness of candied lemon.
Finish Long, luxurious and yet delightfully fresh. The notes of apple and citrus give a lightness of character whilst the body remains solidly complex and robust. A typical Arran with an added layer of sweetness.
