Arran Distillery, Isle of Arran
Isle of Arran is Scotland's newest
malt whisky distillery. It is based at Lochranza on
the Isle of Arran, which lies off the West Coast between Ayrshire and
Kintyre. Arran is a unique island known as 'Scotland in Miniature', for it has
all of the scenery of Scotland, with mountains and lowlands, glens, lochs and
royal castles (including one at Lochranza). Early in the 19th century there
were more than 50 whisky distilleries on Arran, most of them illegal.
The malt was highly-acclaimed, only rivalled by those from the 'Glen of Livet'. In 1995 Harold Currie, who was previously Managing Director of Chivas (Seagrams) and House of Campbell (Pernod Ricard), set up the distillery. The house style is creamy, leafy, with very delicate island character.
Arran Single Malt 10 years old was first released in 1995 and is the flagship of the range. Lochranza is a subtle blended whisky, with the 10 years old with a high proportion of the 10 years old malt. The latest addition to the Arran range has been the 100 Proof, with the end result a greater concentration of flavours and a rich, full-bodied style.

The small, almost boutique, Arran distillery at Lochranza in the north of the island was opened as recently as 1995, yet the spirit already has the feel and complexity of some long established brands. Golden eagles soar on the thermals over Goat Fell which towers behind the distillery. Arran is ... MORE | ||||

Arran Single Malt 10 years old is now the flagship of the Arran range. The influence of the wood is immediately apparent. Sherry, dried fruits and vanilla are all evident.

Arran Single Malt 100 Proof (57%) is intense and complex, showing a vivid nose of citrus - Seville oranges, lemon rind & lime - that gives way to sweet apples, pear and rich vanilla.
