Arran-Lochranza Distillery Visit | Meet the Arran-Lochranza Distillery

The Arran-Lochranza Distillery lies on the same named Island. Its first bottles where bottled in 2001 and are now sold worldwide. With the founding of the Lagg distillery during 2019, the name was changed from Arran to Lochranza. Thus, there are now two distilleries on the island of Arran, but both are owned by the same company Arran Distillers. Lagg produces peated Single Malt and Lochranza unpeated Single Malt.
Even though the Arran-Lochranza distillery is a very young distillery, it offers a very large range of Whiskies. There is the 10 year old, the 18 year old and the Robert Burns edition. These are the standard bottlings and most of them are bottled at 46% ABV, because Arran doesn't chill filter its Whiskies.
The Arran distillery has two pot stills and an annual output of around 750,000 litres. Most of the output goes into the production of the Single Malt Whisky. A small proportion goes into their own Blended Malt range.
We were allowed to visit the Arran-Lochranza distillery and got exciting insights that we don't want to withhold from you.

Thank you, that was a great tour and your interview & tasting with the Production Manager was priceless. Great work 👍

[@Whiskycom]

Thank you!

[@Slowloris666]

Given the price, the 25 yrs old will stay a dream 🙂

Finally someone with a bigger beard than Ben!🤣 Thanks for the video.

[@PerthLuxury]

Kept a lot the same?!?! WHERE'S OUR ARRAN 14?!?!

[@PeatedSander]

Thank you, great video 👍

[@PerthLuxury]

3:49 in 2019 they committed a Scotch crime @Ben, they got rid of Arran 14!!! WE WANT OUR ARRAN 14 BACK!!!

[@PerthLuxury]

I'd also like to see the return of the cask strength 12 and the cask strength 16. The jump from 10 to 18 is too large for me. You need at least two expressions to go between the 10 and the 18.

Belgian fan of your channel 👍🏼. Keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@Whiskycom]

Thank you!

[@tobiasfunke2372]

If they add water to the quarter cask, then how is it cask strength?

[@rafaelnardiiii]

Good question 😂

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Hey, that ain’t no Kentucky accent! I love Arran scotches. Even their blended, non-age stated offerings are fantastic, like their Barrel Reserve and Robert Burns - and I’m sure their port cask finish, which I haven’t tried yet, but know I’ll like a lot.

[@lightplays2181]

Good job , like . Slàinte !

[@cookieMonsterSincho]

Please make a review about Arran remnant renegade release 🙏

[@Herbyonwheelsshubhayu14]

Nice location

[@larrywave]

😄👍

[@fraserthistle4200]

A meeting of the beards

[@cookieMonsterSincho]

Starting so good but now it’s aged stuff above the ten 10 is pricy. A lot of NAS releases, so I think all the mistakes are made 😢 and it’s a shame

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong🤔. At least around here, the Arran 18 year is less expensive than a 15 year Glendronach, Macallan or Glenfarclas. And while I also tend to avoid NAS bottles, I like the ones coming out of Arran.

[@Seronu]

Cask strength but watered down? Huh? Seems disingenuous.

[@pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503]

4:32 As an Englishwoman I can tell you that's a stream, which is a small body of running water or brook, and not a creek. In English a 'creek' is a small inlet or bay, or the tidal estuary of a river. In Americanised English a 'creek' is also a stream, but not in Britain, which is where Scotland is located. xx

[@Whiskycom]

Thanks for the clarification. 😄
