This single-cask bottling of a 5-year-old Arran single malt was produced by the independent bottler A.D. Rattray, Maybole, Scotland, as part of the Cask Collection range. The whisky was distilled in 2016, matured in a first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry barrique, and bottled at cask strength in 2021 in a run of 300 bottles.
The Lochranza distillery (until 2020 it was called Arran) is located on the south-eastern edge of Lochranza on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. It was built between 1991 and 1995, with the Queen officially opening it in 1997. The owner Isle of Arran Distillers expanded in 2019 with another distillery on Arran, so the whisky was renamed Lochranza to distinguish it.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
