Description
Arran The Exciseman Smugglers’ Series Volume 3 70cl 56.8% is the third and final release in the celebrated Smugglers’ Series from the Isle of Arran Distillery. Inspired by the island’s historic smuggling routes and whisky heritage, this limited edition expression concludes the trilogy with a bold and complex single malt.
