Hard To Find Whisky “Distillery Focus: Arran” – Scotch Whisky News
Known as “Scotland in miniature’ for its diverse environment and stunning scenery, The Isle of Arran has become one of Scotland’s most popular destinations for whisky enthusiasts. This remote island was once home to over 50 illicit distilleries that lay beyond the reach of the exciseman. The Island’s whisky industry was revived with the construction of the Arran Distillery (now being rebranded as The Lochranza Distillery) which officially opened in 1995.
Arran is one of Scotland’s last remaining independently owned distilleries, producing whisky that is typically unpeated, sweet, smooth and fruity. A diverse portfolio includes a wide range of cask finished whiskies, higher age statement bottlings, cask strength releases, and peated whisky bottled as Machrie Moor.
In 2019, Isle of Arran Distillers opened the Lagg Distillery which will focus on producing a heavily peated style of whisky, in contrast to the signature sweet, unpeated style produced at Lochranza.
