The Arran Lochranza Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh green apples, lemon peels and a hint of milk chocolate. A touch of golden barley and sea breeze too.

Palate: The salty sea air notes grow slightly on the palate, balanced with plenty of juicy citrus and sweet toffee pennies. Hints of oak spice.

Finish: Relaxed and creamy on the finish.

Distillery Information

Situated on the Isle of Arran, Arran Distillery was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, the former director at Chivas Distillery, and is one of the last remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. When the distillery was finally completed in 1995 — construction was halted for nearly a year when a pair of Golden Eagles built their nest near the distillery — it became the first legal distillery on the Isle of Arran in over 150 years.
