This is the second release in Arrans Devil's Punchbowl Series, an unholy trinity of releases which started in summer 2012 & will conclude in 2014.

Each cask wasÊmeticulously chosen to create an Arran bottling of depth & rich character where the aromas & flavours dovetail to perfection. The numbers of each of the casks that went into the bottle are listed on the inside of theÊbox. Bottled at natural strength & without chill-filtration, The Devils Punch Bowl series is a testimony to the consistent superior quality of The Arran Malt across each year of production.Ê Chapter II of The Devils Punch Bowl is a true contrast of light & shade hence the title Angels & Devils.
