The Arran distillery is one of the youngest distilleries in Scotland. It is worth mentioning that despite the fact that the distillery is located on the island of Arran, the style of the whisky can not be called insular, its taste and aroma is closer to the distinctive ones of Speyside.

Arran whisky has already found a large number of fans all over the world and some releases have been high-marked by both amateurs and professionals.

The interesting releases could be highlighted:

Taking into account the youth of the distillery, many of its releases with a high WhiskyBase rating might have been undervalued at the moment and it is extremely likely that Arran whisky would significantly increase in price over time to the joy of investors and collectors. If the average price chart is closely examined, the minute yet steady growth can be noticed.

Moreover, the Arran distillery offers a cask purchase scheme, providing private individuals with an opportunity to posses their own cask of whisky and store it on site at the distillery.
