Please meet Ruaraidh (pronounced Roo-ree) the West Highland Terrier belonging to our Distillery Manager James MacTaggart. Ruaraidh is independent of character with a mischievous glint in his eye and is much admired by visitors to our Distillery in Lochranza. This 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.  After 12 years of maturation this expression of Arran is rich & warming with a delightful complexity. This bottling has become highly sought after as part of the highly collectable "Icons of Arran" series.  The 4th and final icon in the series will be released in February 2012.

Tasting Notes

Nose:    A fresh aroma with notes of toasted oak, treacle-toffee & orange zest.

Palate:  Full-bodied and buttery with an initial rush of vanilla essence and Demerara sugar. The sweet character subsides leaving cocoa powder and cardamom seeds.

 Finish:  Malty & smooth with voluptuous spice.
