The Isle of Arran Distillery, located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, was established in 1995. It is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. The distillery was founded by Harold Currie, a former managing director of Chivas, and is situated in the village of Lochranza. The location was chosen for its ideal conditions for whisky production, including pure water from Loch na Davie and a mild microclimate. The distillery has become a significant part of the island's economy and a popular tourist destination.
Arran is known for producing a range of single malt whiskies that are unpeated, allowing the natural flavors of the malt and the influence of the cask to shine through. The distillery uses traditional methods, including wooden washbacks and copper pot stills, to create its whiskies. Arran's core range includes expressions such as the Arran 10 Year Old and the Arran 18 Year Old, as well as limited editions and cask finishes. The distillery is also committed to sustainability, with initiatives to reduce its environmental impact.
