    The Isle of Arran Distillery was established in Lochranza on the northwest tip of the Isle of Arran in 1995 and the first spirit flowed from the stills on the 29th of June of the same year. To celebrate the milestone of their 21st Anniversary in 2016, Master Distiller James MacTaggart has handpicked a selection of their finest Ex-Sherry Hogsheads from the first three years of production to create this very special expression of The Arran Single Malt. Bottled from 100% Ex-Sherry casks, at cask strength and without chill-filtration, this 21st Anniversary edition is limited to 5,988 bottles worldwide.

    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.
