The 2nd release in Cask 88's series of 6 Scottish Folklore whiskies. A series designed to bond the stories of Scotland’s unique history with the very finest expressions of its spirit. This limited edition single malt represents the tale of the mythical Selkie.

Selkies shed their skin to change from seal to human form. They dance alone on the moonlit shore, or lie in the sun on rocky islands just off the coast. Terrible and handsome, selkie folk come ashore to seek out men and women restless in love, to drag them to the ocean’s depths where they can be lovers. At risk of being trapped by having their seal skins stolen. The selkie is under the hold of the human who has possession of their skin, if reunited with their skin, the selkie will return immediately to the sea.

This single cask Arran was distilled in 1997 and matured for 22 years in a single sherry cask before being bottled at natural cask strength. One of only 183 bottles.
