The first release in Arran's Explorers Series, launched in mid-2018. These releases celebrate the wonderful scenery that folks on the Isle of Arran are lucky enough to enjoy. This first release shows off the glory of Brodick Bay on the label (and handsome presentation tin). The whisky itself is a 20 year old single malt initially aged in bourbon and sherry casks before being finished in Oloroso sherry butts from Bodegas Tradicion. A release of 9,000 bottles.

Although the Isle of Arran was once a hot-bed of distilling activity, there were no distilleries on the island for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Isle of Arran Distillers opened their first distillery in 1995, and it quickly became a firm favourite. They bottled its first single malt in 1998, a limited edition 3 year old in a glass decanter. The distillery also produced a peated single malt called Machrie Moor, however an experimental second distillery on the other side of the island, called Lagg, is now the site of all the company’s peated production. As of 2019, the distillery was renamed Lochranza, however its single malt brand is still known by the old name, Arran.
