Isle of Arran
Distillers Ltd Lochranza and Lagg
Distilleries unveil new programme of
daily tastings to come following Visitor
Centres re-opening.
As
lock down restrictions gradually ease I
am pleased to tell you that the Isle of
Arran’s two Scotch Whisky distilleries
will be re-opening their visitor centres in
line with Scottish Government guidance,
as Scotland’s islands begin to welcome
back visitors from the mainland.
The whisky production sites at Lochranza
in the north of the island and Lagg in
the south will open their doors to the
public with initial access to their
Visitor Centre shops and takeaway cafes
followed by a number of new bookable
tastings from 17th May onwards.
As with many other businesses across the
country, both distilleries have been
shut since Christmas last year but will
be open daily from 10am from Mon 26th
April for shop and takeaway facilities.
From Mon 17th May, both sites will begin
to run a brand-new calendar of daily
tastings while no tours are available.
From 17th May, there will be a range of
tastings held at the Lochranza
Distillery Visitor Centre, giving
visitors the opportunity to try the
award-winning Arran Single Malt
whiskies, including a Core Range Tasting
at 11am daily (£20 per adult), a Limited
Editions Tasting at 2pm daily (£25 per
adult) and a Whisky & Arran Chocolate
Pairing Tasting at 11am and 3pm daily
(£15 per adult).
Also from 17th May, the Distillery’s
CASKS Café will also be open from
10am-4.30pm for a delicious selection of
hot and cold beverages and home baking,
with a lunch menu served from
12noon-3pm.
All tables must be booked in advance,
bookings for tastings and the CASKS Café
can be made by contacting
bookings@arranwhisky.com
or by calling 01770 830 264.
As well as tastings at Lochranza, from
17th May tastings will also take place
at the island’s newer Lagg Distillery,
which opened in 2019, and will run daily
at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3pm costing
£15.00 per adult.
Bookings can be made in advance by
contacting Lagg Distillery on
bookings@laggwhisky.com
or by calling 01770 870565.
Director of Operations & Production for
Lagg and Lochranza Distilleries, James
MacTaggart said: "We’re thoroughly
looking forward to welcoming visitors
back to our distilleries at Lagg and
Lochranza, while we’ve been able to stay
in touch with them digitally in recent
months, there’s nothing quite like
welcoming people to the home of our
Single Malts and tasting our precious
liquid on the site it was crafted."
Hopefully this will be the last time we
see the distillery's close, if you want
to explore the Arran whisky range
you will find it available
from
specialist online whisky retailers
such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of
Malt
