| I havent seen any reviews on the Arran The Eagle yet, i think a few of the whisky online whisky shops have it available now so i would imagine some reviews will start to appear soon. |

I would be quick when they do get it as there are less than 10 bottles left in the whole of Glasgow, with the distillery selling loads as well, so i dont think it will be around for long as it is a great dram, will post some notes when i can try it propperly along side other arran releases at the weekend! |

The Arran Icon series never sells over night but usually goes pretty quickly. Once it starts to get tasted and reviewed and if the general consensus is that it is a particularly good whisky then it can shift really quickly. For example the Rowan Tree took a while to disappear of shelves but the Peacock went quickly. |

I think this will shift really quick, most shops here in Glasgow sold out very quick and had to try and reorder more, think they only have a few cases left here |
