DESCRIPTION

A peated single cask release from the Lochranza distillery on the Isle of Arran, bottled by Adelphi independent bottler. With the opening of Arran’s second distillery at Lagg in 2019, the original site is now commonly referred to as Lochranza Distillery to distinguish between the two. Distilled in 2014, matured for 10 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, and bottled in 2025. Only 230 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.1%.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Arrival by ferry in Brodick,  the sea breeze carrying hints of rockpools, freshly cut hay, and a barbecue with roasting pineapple. Some medicinal notes follow, the faint tang of Savlon and iodine under a lint bandage. There’s a subtle minerality that gives it a distinctive dusky coastal character.

Palate: Sweetly smoky and layered — aniseed balls, herbal undertones, with notes of oregano, thyme, and tangy lime pickle, all woven together with a subtle earthy backbone.

Finish: Bold yet sweet, with lingering smoke and herbal complexity, leaving a memorable, mouth-coating impression.
