Arran Single Malt Whisky

The Arran Distillery is located near the village of Lochranza on the Isle of Arran and was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, former director of Chivas. Following the opening of a second distillery at Lagg in 2019, the original site is now commonly referred to as Lochranza Distillery, producing Arran’s unpeated single malt style.

Construction of the distillery was famously delayed until 1995 due to the presence of a nesting pair of protected eagles on nearby cliffs, a story that has since become part of modern Scotch whisky folklore. Although Arran was once home to dozens of illicit stills, Lochranza became the island’s first legal distillery in over 150 years when production began.

In 2019, Arran Distillers expanded operations with the opening of Lagg Distillery on the south of the island, dedicated to producing a heavily peated style of whisky.
