Description

Arran distillery located in Lochranza, was founded by Harold Currie in 1994 who was white the man. He was a former director of Chivas and a D-Day veteran. The distillery building plans were scuppered or hampered if you will by a pair of golden eagles and because of their status as a protected species, construction was temporarily halted.  Previous experience of distilling on the island would have been rife with word of around 50 distilleries being present at one time, however, none of these were actually official. The most recent and well know prior to Lochranze was called Lagg and sadly closed in 1837. Arran used to store their casks in a warehouse down in Campbeltown at Springbank. However, the legal implications behind this were passed and the distillery at one point offered individuals an opportunity to own their own cask of whisky, which can be stored on-site at the distillery.

This is the distillery's first 25-year-old expression and is made from the following casks that were distilled in 1995 -

  • 35% ex-Sherry wood
  • 65% ex-Bourbon wood

After which this dram was re-casked into 1st Fill and Refill Sherry Hogsheads for 12 months prior to being released in 2020.

This is one of 3000 bottles.
