Arran 21 Years Old Kildonan & Pladda Island

The Explorers Series Volume 3
Lot #1460792
FINISH DATE
19 January 2026
The third release in Arran’s Explorers Series is a 21-year-old single malt, matured in a complex combination of Sherry butts, puncheons, and Ruby Port pipes to create what the distillery describes as a “truly multi-layered dram.” Presented in a beautifully illustrated tin and bottle, this edition showcases the breathtaking view from the hills above the village of Kildonan, looking out towards Pladda Island. A limited edition of 9,000 bottles worldwide, this release is both a collector’s treasure and a celebration of Arran’s coastal beauty.

Arran

The Isle of Arran has played host to many distilleries, mostly illicit and the last legal distillery closed in 1835. What is surprising is that it took until 1995 for a still to run again as the Arran distillery at Lochranza came online. Financed mostly by Harold Currie who had retired from Chivas, the team also sought investment from 2000 investors who gave up £450 for a share of future whiskies. Many of whom turned up for the official opening, including a descendent of the last person to be killed on Arran for distilling illegally. Since the initial days, Arran distillery has prospered thanks to an array of cask types and special editions. The whisky, in time, has come of age and growing demand meant an expansion in 2017, with a new pair of stills. Things went even further in 2019 when a second distillery (Lagg) was established at the southern end of Arran.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
