The Arran Malt Distillery – Smugglers Series Limited Release – “The Illicit Stills” – Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
“In what very well could be some of the most cool packaging I’ve seen to come to whisky in awhile that’s not super expensive, Isle of Arran Distillers out of Scotland has revealed plans for a trilogy of new limited edition Scotches known as The Smuggers’ Series. The first of these, “The Illicit Stills,” is a bottle housed in a fake book with a cut out slot in the middle of it.
The Illicit Stills bottling, according to the distillery, is a single malt which is a blend of their “classic un-peated Arran Malt in combination with Arran produced from medium & heavily-peated malt.” The peated portion clocks in at 50 ppm, and at least some of the malt within was fully matured in Port Pipes.” – Nino Marchetti
