Description

Situated in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran was once a hotbed of illicit distillation and smuggling. Eventually though the dreaded Excise men got the best of Arran's renegade stillmen, and the island was without a working distillery from 1837. That all changed in 1995 when the Arran distillery at Lochranza started production. Although it is a relative youngster, Arran's investment in quali ... A very special Whisky made for the first backers of Arran distillery, but aged for 14 years. This is a typical Arran malt, light and gentle with notes of sweet, fresh apples.
