THE ARRAN SMUGGLERS SERIES V2 – THE HIGH SEAS 70CL
The High Seas is part of the Smugglers Series Volume 2, a tribute to the distillers. Who outwitted government representatives while conjuring the famous Arran Waters.
Basically, it’s as full of character as the figures who inspired it.
Moreover, matured in a combination of rum casks and first-fill bourbon barrels.
As a result, 8,700 bottles were produced.
Tasting Notes:
In the First, on the nose: Citrus fruits are at the fore, mingling with smells evocative of the outdoors. A touch of seaweed hints at coastal character. Orchard fruits, white pepper, and a subtle dry note reminiscent of fine sherry make this a complex nose. A hint of burned pine wood is in the background.
Then, on the palate: A fizzing mouthfeel with sherbet character. A fresh spearmint note appears and mingles with warm Bramley apple pie and ice cream. There is tangy lime marmalade with chili pepper heat. And a whiff of smoke from a just-lit fire of pine logs. The addition of water shows honey dew melon and pear drop sweets.
In the end, the Finish: Distillery character shines through. A backbone of subtle smoke elongated the notes of apples, citrus, and good body.
