Arkwrights Whisky Tasting - Isle of Arran Whisky

A great evening hosting by Andy Hogan from the Isle of Arran Distillery. A packed room of whisky lovers enjoyed the delights of the lightly peated 10 year old, the unpeated 14 year old, port & sherry cask finishes and the beautifully presented Arran Sleeping Warrior, named after the summits and rises on the north end of the Isle of Arran, which resembles a resting human figure. A donation from the sale of every bottle of Sleeping Warrior goes to the National Trust of Scotland who help maintain the footpaths on Goat Fell, Arran's highest peak which are constantly eroded by the many visitors who use them.
