Arran

Following a survey by the Geology Department of Glasgow University, the owner of Arran Distillery was advised to open his new Distillery on Arran for three reasons: 1) They had found the purest water supply in all of Scotland at Loch na Davie, high in the hills that overlook the village of Lochranza on the North coast of Arran. 2) Arran is washed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and enjoys a microclimate that is ideal for the speedy maturation of single malt whiskies. 3) The Island already enjoyed a reputation for producing top quality – if illegal – whisky.
