Arran The Devil's Punch Bowl Chapter III The Fiendish Finale
Single Malt
Arran // Islands, Scotland
This is the third and final edition of Arran’s lauded cask-strength special release. A vatting of eight sherry butts, five ex-bourbon casks and eight French barriques, this big-flavored whisky does well with a little water.
This is a very exciting expression of one of Scotland’s youngest distilleries (est. 1995).

Tasting Notes
"High-toned and mineral on the nose with ginger, fresh peach and citrus, and an unusual clay-like minerality. Spicy and warming on the palate with big notes of vanilla and cinnamon, candied apple and pear, white pepper and a waxy, oxidative, almost rancio quality. Balanced and harmonious at 53.4% abv, a little water helps the whole thing unwind and show additional layers of complexity"
