Arran

Good news for Arran whiskies in the USA!

Good news for those of us living in the US!  You can read the full detail below but the gist of it is that the Isle of Arran Distillers have signed on with a new importer for product into the US: Impex (known for importing Kilchomen, Smokehead, the Cheiftain’s range of Single Cask Whiskies and Isle of Skye blended whisky into the US).

The effective date is January 1, 2012

My hope, which I think will come to fruition, is that with this new deal with Impex (a company that KNOWS whisky), Arran will be bringing in more of their small release products such as the Icons of Arran range, Sleeping Warrior, 12yo cask strength, etc…  It will remain to be seen but Impex knows their stuff and knows the US whisky consumer.

Arran is in good hands.  Read the full details below.
