Whisky from Ayrshire for Burns Night – A. D. Rattray Scotch Whisky News
LOCAL SINGLE MALTS
to Celebrate Burns Night
‘Freedom and Whisky Gang Thegither! ‘
– ROBERT BURNS
Our whisky shop is in the heart of Ayrshire, in the village of Kirkoswald. Our village is famously the place where Robert Burns attended school and some of the locals he met were the inspiration for characters in his poems.
Ayrshire is also home to a number of distilleries and so what better way to celebrate Burns Night and our Ayrshire heritage than by enjoying a dram of local whisky…
Single Malts from Ayrshire…
Robert Burns Single Malt
Lochranza Distillery on Arran is the only whisky distillery to produce a whisky that is officially endorsed by the World Burns Federation. A versatile, light and aromatic single malt, ideal to enjoy before or during a meal… perhaps with haggis!
Lochlea Our Barley
Lochlea is a family-owned farm distillery located in the heart of Ayrshire and was once home to Robert Burns. This is their first core expression, matured in 3 types of casks that all come together to give this malt extra creamy, fruity notes.
LAGG Kilmory Edition
Lagg Distillery on Arran, produces a heavily peated style of whisky that harks back to the illicit stills of the islands past. The Kilmory Edition is a pure embodiment of the earthy smokiness and vanilla notes that make LAGG Single Malts so special.
Ailsa Bay Sweet Smoke 1.2
Our closest distillery, Ailsa Bay is only 8 miles from our shop. Just along the coast that looks out onto the magnificent Ailsa Craig. This heavily peated whisky is balanced with the right level of sweetness to cut through the smoke.
