Arran
Harold Currie, former director of Chivas, founded Arran Distillery in 1993. It was the first legal distillery to open up on Arran since 1837. The distillery produced its first spirit on the 17th August 1995. Arran is a small island off the east coast of Scotland. The island can be seen across the water on the drive down to Campbeltown. The small island used to have 30 distilleries on it and most of them were illegal. The last legal distillery on Arran was called Lagg which closed down in 1837. Arran distillery has four Oregon pine washbacks, one wash still and one spirit still. The distillery can produce 750,000 litres a year. House Style: Creamy, leafy. Restorative or with dessert.

Colour: Burnished Copper
Nose: Poached pears and honey followed by toasted almonds and a subtle touch of cranberry. With water a coffee note appears together with chocolate orange and mellow butterscotch.
Palate: Dark chocolate, cherry and Turkish delights are evident as are stewed fruits and toffee. Muscular notes of dark plum wrestle with bitter-sweet apricots and a hint of cinnamon.
Finish: A well-balanced combination of the finesse of The Arran Malt and the restrained fruit and oak from the Amarone casks. Concentrated and elegant this malt delivers on all levels.
