]]> The distillery Arran is located on the head of an island that owns the same name and lays between the western coast of Scotland and the peninsula Kintryre. The island Arran has good access from Glasgow by car and ferry. The distillery started producing in 1995 on time delay, because of a pair of Golden Eagles that hatched right where the distillery was supposed to be build. It was built by Harold Currie, who had been very successful in the whisky industrie and even was director of Chevas. With building the distillery a big dream for him came true.

Official Tasting Note:

This light gold-coloured whisky is beatifully complex on the nose with gentle Islay peat, sea-spray, medicinal notes, lemon zest and leather notes. Beach bonfire, seaweed, more citrus and wonderfully delcate Islay peat notes on the palate, leading into a long, lingering satisfying finish.

]]> Laphroaig means as much as ‘valley at the big white bay’ and was founded by Donald and Alex Johnston in 1826. It is located at the southern shore of Islay. The whisky is famous for its smokey-phenolic, iodine-containing and salty character. Laphroaig has its own peat fields – which can be reached by the shortest railway of the world – and also has own malting floors.
