Description
Arran was home to many stills in the early 1800s (not all of them legal!) and in 1840 the original Lagg Distillery closed its doors.
It wasn't until 1994 when Arran Whisky starting building their distillery in Lochranza at the north end of the island. Lochranza was chosen as the water there was of such high quality.
The first whisky ran through the still in June 1995 and the distillery was officially opened in the August.
Lagg is distilled and matured on a low lying stretch of coast near the village of Kilmory at the south end of the Isle of Arran, in the island's agricultural heartland.
Twice distilled as Batch 1 and 2, the spirit for this release was matured in first fill, ex-bourbon casks for 30 months and then finished for 6 months prior to release in 55L ex-Rioja red wine Firkin casks.
Tasting Notes
A rich, complex dram, full of notes of dark fruit and toasted oak.
