Arran Distillery has been producing fine single malt Scotch whisky since 1994. Starting life as rainwater falling in Loch Na Davie in the hills high above the distillery, and flavoured by the earth and rock, the Scotch produced here is hailed as a “taste of the island”. There is a shop and cafe and you can visit the distillery to find out more about the process. For more information, visit: arranwhisky.com.
