Description

This adorable West Highland Terrier is called Ruaraidh (pronounced Roo-ree). He belongs to distillery manager James MacTaggart and is Arran's unofficial mascot. Ruaraidh (nicknamed 'The Westie' for the convenience of non-Gaelic speakers) is the subject of the third release in the collectible Icons of Arran series. Arran 1998-2011 The Westie is drawn from 22 refill Oloroso hogsheads filled in 1998. The 12-year maturation has created a rich and warming Arran single malt with a delightful complexity. It is a limited edition of 6000 bottles.
