Distilleries, Breweries & Botanicals on Arran

Taste the spirit of Arran

Our incredible microclimate results in our island having the most amazing clear spring water, tumbling across granite rocks before forming rivers and lochs to bathe in, or forming peaty lakes undergound. This water is a fantastic base for some of our most popular – and boozy – products!

There are two sister distilleries, at Lochranza and Lagg, both offering an incredible choice of tour options, from basic tastings to limited edition casks. The knowledge of the tour guides will help you to expand your palate to savour malts that may offer flavours of citrus, vanilla and chocolate, or peated malts that instil rich notes echoing memories of warm firesides.

Check out Arran Brewery in Brodick. Again, you can get a tour with product sampling of a range of beers and ales. Beers offered include light IPAs, Belgian-style lagers, and stouts to warm the cockles of your heart!

Tempting your palate? Pop in and enjoy.
