Arran Highlands Single Malt Whiskey

Whiskey Arran distilled in the only distillery on the Isle of Arran

The Arran distillery is the only distillery on the Isle of Arran, located in Lochranza. It was created in 1995 under the leadership of Harold Currie, a former executive officer of Chivas and then of Pernod Ricard. The Arran distillery was only authorized to name the fruit of its activity as whiskey in 1998. Due to lack of space, part of the production is stored and aged in the Springbank cellars. The style of Arrran whiskeys is unpeated, slightly influenced by the marine proximity with iodine and saline notes. The structure is supple and hints of fruit appear. The more the distillery develops and the more it experiments with different finishes which each time (until now) really add something. A little history, in the 19th century it is said that there were nearly 50 all clandestine distilleries, the remoteness of the island made controls difficult. The production of the Isle of Arran was as sought after as the whiskeys from Glenlivet were.
