The Isle of Arran Distillery is situated at Lochranza in the north of the Isle of Arran on the River Clyde estuary. The distillery went into production on the 29th of June 1995. Arran has long been associated with whisky distilling and it is said that by the end of the nineteenth century there were as many as 50 distilleries operating on the island. Most of them illegal it has to be said. The Visitor Centre was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in August 1997.
Honey and Scottish shortbread on the nose. Malty, estery notes with pears and some summer fruits. The palate is medium dry, very smooth and rounded. The finish is long with a hint of rose petal.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water.
