The True Spirit of Arran – The hidden secret of Arran
lies far back in the mists of time. The whisky stills of bygone
centuries now only have legends and overgrown graves to mark
the islanders’ struggles with the excise men.
But now after 150 years the Arran whisky has been reborn at
Lochranza, and with it the spirit and enterprise of the island.
Now it is a secret no more.
Arran malt whisky is a veritable breath of fresh air. Dry and
light, with hints of vanilla and fruit, it is a product of the
ideal climate with which Arran has been blessed. The foothills
of Goat Fell, the ‘high place’ which is the meaning
of the islan’s name, is the source of the distillery’s
pure water. It is cleansed by the granite as it comes down from
the hills and the atmosphere of clean, mountain air and fresh,
sea breezes matures the malt to perfection.
This golden nectar is, in fact, a distintictive unpeated island
whisky. Pure and soft, it is the true spirit of Arran.
At one time Arran whisky was acclaimed as the finest in all
of Scotland. The arran malt is well on its way to claiming that
crown again.
