Distillery Bottling
The Peated Arran. Lightly peated at 20ppm, this mythical malt has proved a popular addition to the Arran range. No batch number in 2018 as this product will now be a permanent part of our range.

Since 2004, Arran has annually distilled a small quantity of malt whisky where the barley is peated to 20 ppm. This creates a medium-smoked whisky that encompasses much more than just tar and seawall.

The whisky is named after a mysterious and windswept peat bog on the west coast of Arran (Machrie Moor). Among the stone formations left from the Bronze Age, there's a stone with a carved hole. Legend has it that the legendary warrior Fingal tied his favorite dog Bran to this stone.

In Machrie Moor, the Arran distillery captures the island's rugged beauty, presenting an exciting and somewhat different island whisky.

This fantastic dram is composed by Distillery Manager James MacTaggart.

Isle of Arran Distillery

After more than 150 years of absence, legal distillation returned to the Isle of Arran in 1995 when the Isle of Arran distillery produced its first drops at 2:29 PM on June 29, 1995. The last legal distillery on Arran closed in 1836.

The exceptionally beautiful Arran distillery is located in the village of Lochranza on the northwestern tip of Arran, remaining the island's sole distillery. The whisky from the distillery matures on the distillery's own grounds in truly unique surroundings, aging in sherry and bourbon casks.

The climate on Arran hastens maturation, making Arran whisky considered the fastest-developing in all of Scotland. This is reportedly due to the warm Gulf Stream passing the distillery warehouses.
The water for the distillery comes from the Loch na Davie spring, the purest natural source in all of Scotland.

The distillery's whisky is bottled without chill-filtration or added color of any kind. It is the raw spirit, crafted by the pure nature of the Isle of Arran.

Arran distillery remains one of the few privately owned distilleries in Scotland. It's managed by a highly experienced team of three, led by distillery manager James MacTaggart, who boasts over 30 years of whisky production experience.

Since 1995, the distillery has been recognized several times for its dynamic force in the Scottish whisky industry. In 2007, Arran was named "Scottish Distiller of the Year" by Whisky Magazine. In 2005, the distillery won "The Queen's Award for Enterprise," the most prestigious honor for business in the United Kingdom.
