Arran Single Malt Whisky (Old Bottle)

Although the Isle of Arran was once a hot-bed of distilling activity, there were no distilleries on the island for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Arran distillery opened in 1995, and quickly became a firm favourite. They bottled their first single malt in 1998, a limited edition 3 year old in a glass decanter. Today the distillery also produces a peated single malt called Machrie Moor, and their parent company have opened a second distillery called Lagg on the other side of the island. The Arran Founder’s Reserve was released in 2001, with this no-age statement single malt following shortly afterwards. Both are a fine examples of single malt from what was then a very young distillery.
