The White Stag Series Context

The White Stag series is a special, exclusive range from Arran that allows the distillery’s online community to influence or select specific cask bottlings. The “White Stag” itself is a nod to a legendary, ethereal creature rumored to be spotted near the Lochranza distillery on the Isle of Arran.

The Arran White Stagg eighth release is known for being a powerful, sherry-forward dram with a unique balance of classic rich fruit and a salty, citrusy edge from the combination of the two different cask profiles.
