Smugglers Series Vol 2 ‘The High Seas’ is a no-age-statement marriage of rum cask-matured whisky with peated spirit and malt matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels.
Designed to honour the history of Arran’s illicit whisky trade up the Clyde to Glasgow, the packaging mimics a hardbound book with a cut-out compartment concealing the bottle – a tribute to the hiding-places traditionally used to smuggle whisky in the 18th and 19th centuries. Released in October 2016
