Arran's Lochranza Distillery VIP Tour

[@SteveW459]

A fantastic video gents! Jack’s passion and love for Arran drams is extremely obvious! We need to see more Jack… and yeah… that bearded dude as his trusty sidekick! Nicely done both Jake and Jack!

[@jackabussingly]

Awww thank you Steve, that’s very kind of you to say ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video - how special was it that the Eagles came out and flew around just as we were walking to warehouse 1?!?

[@SteveW459]

@@jackabussinglyI reckon that was almost a good omen having the eagles appear! I’ve been fortunate to visit Lochranza (pre global lockdowns), and thoroughly enjoyed the whole distillery visit! Looking forward to seeing a similar video experience of the Lagg show! Great drams. Cheers.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

I think it would be hard to find anyone that could match Jack when it comes to passion and knowledge with all things Arran whisky! thanks for tuning in and supporting Steve!

[@SteveW459]

@@TheWhiskyBaron And a big thanks to you Jake and team for giving us a new range of voices and commentary on dramming and the Whisky business. I’ve been a keen follower of both the Whisky Baron and the great Uncut and Unfiltered podcasts and videos. Awesome content, awesome guests. Did someone say ‘Billy’? You’ve certainly changed the way I look at the industry and the spirit it produces. 👍 Crack on!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@SteveW459 hahaha, you have been watching! really appreciate this comment, it means a lot when we hear that we're making an impact. we have so much love for the industry and we're keen to share it so stick around and we'll have lots more with you soon! sláinte my friend

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@jackabussingly it was an awesome journey wasn't it. great that Lochranza are putting the time and effort into creating unique experiences for the whisky geeks like us!

[@jimmyjazz4605]

Wow, what an incredible distillery, and what an amazing time you all would've had. It seems like warehouse one is the place to be 😅

[@jackabussingly]

Hey Jimmy, it’s certainly a special place to be in. I think for quite a long time, masterclasses at festivals were held in one of the five other warehouse at Lochranza, that’s what made going back in #1 really special this time ☺️

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

you know it JJ! definitely need to get yourself over to Arran when you have the chance, it exceeds all expectations

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@jackabussingly I love a good warehouse tasting but there's nothing like a good dunnage set up and what they have at Lochranza is sensational

[@jimmyjazz4605]

@@jackabussingly Wow, that would've been a vibe 😁

[@afshinamini6805]

We want more Jack!

[@jackabussingly]

Awww that’s very kind of you! Glad you enjoyed it, was a heck of a lot of fun to film. I’m doing the tour again at the end of this month with some friends over for the festival if all goes to plan. Definitely a happy place to visit ☺️🥃

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

that seems to be the general consensus and we agree! we'll see if we can negotiate an ongoing contract with this incredible talent. thanks for tuning in and sup[porting the channel

@@jackabussingly love that you're doing it again so soon!

[@richardkilley6838]

​@@jackabussinglymust have been good, you sounded a bit pished at the end! Lol

[@alannicol1223]

Booked on this tour at the end of August and super excited to tour Warehouse 1 and sample some drams straight from the cask.

[@jackabussingly]

You’ve made a great choice there Alan. I wonder if you’ll get any new and exciting casks on your tour? It was hard to tell how much was left in each cask, but at the very least (due to size) I’d expect the Quarter Cask to have been replaced by August. Hope you enjoy ☺️🥃

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

amazing Alan, you'll have the best time. be sure to say hi to the team from all of us and remember the cask ring tidbit so as you can amaze all the other visitors with your whisky knowledge! sláinte

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@jackabussingly that's the beautiful thing about this tour; it will continue changing for visitors over time and so enjoying the tour can be an annual occurrence and you'd never get bored!

[@GTJWilding]

Go on Jack! Well done mate, sad I can't join you at the festival this year. Hopefully next time

[@jackabussingly]

Cheers Gabriel ☺️ Next year is an absolute must for the festival: the big 30th Anniversary. Hopefully see you there, or at another Lagg Cask Society meetup if it’s happening again this Autumn?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for tuning in and supporting Jack and the channel Gabriel! I hope you make it out to Arran again soon, sláinte

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@jackabussingly we really want to get back for the big 30 celebrations!

[@bobsander4589]

Super video guys. It's really stimulated my appetite to go back to Arran and visit borh distilleries. Will definitely look up this tour and put it on my hit list to visit next year. Some truly stunning drams. I'd never want to leave 😂

[@jackabussingly]

Many thanks Bob, very glad you enjoyed the video. The call of Arran is a strong one eh 😉

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

great to hear that we've got your thirst for Arran back Bob! hope you have as amazing a trip as we did

[@IanBear1000]

Amazing work Jack! Wish I could have been there ❤

[@jackabussingly]

Cheers Ian ❤ We’ll absolutely have to do a revisit at some point in the coming months (I can 100% always find an excuse to visit Arran) ☺️🥃

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

I think we'll all have to head over for the 30th anniversary next year!

[@PaulGiannandrea]

That’s three excellent Arran videos I’ve now watched with the amazing Jack in it - going back to Arran in October so looking forward to revisiting the distillery again!!

[@jackabussingly]

Many thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it! Autumn is a lovely time to visit the island, a whole different set of colours in the landscape. Hope you manage to get on this tour in October, it’s well worth it ☺️🥃

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for tuning in again and supporting the channel Paul. you'll probably bump into Jack when you visit as he practically lives on Arran at this rate! have an amazing time; sláinte my friend

[@Isthatabeerinyourpocket]

Yes Jack, I love how you still get that giddy schoolkidesque look about you. Even after all the visits you've made to Arran you still get excited. Love it, thanks for another great vid guys.

[@jackabussingly]

Always great to get the synapses firing in a place that inspires ☺️ Thank you for watching the vid and glad you enjoyed it. Have you been before to Arran?

[@Isthatabeerinyourpocket]

@@jackabussingly I've been to Arran many years ago (prior to the distilleries) but I intend to go back for a visit to both Lochranza and Lagg next year and maybe tie it all in with an island hop to Islay and even a quick trip to Campbeltown.

@@Isthatabeerinyourpocket now that sounds like a trip! I assume you'll be booking in for a myriad of tours and tastings?

No Ian…Jack knocking it out of the park though in a belter of a sweater 😉

Ian was much missed on this tour, calendars full already by the time we got to film. Thank you for the sweater love, my late Uncle’s which I very much enjoy wearing to remember him (and keep me warm in a rather chilly Lochranza as it was at time of filming 😉). Cheers for watching 🥃☺️

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Ian's always welcome along for the ride but we're trying to expand the series out to include all enthusiasts and when it comes to Arran and Lochranza, no one is more passionate than Jack! Glad you're enjoying it Chaz, sláinte my friend!
