Lagg Distillery

Lagg Distillery is located on the southern tip of the Isle of Arran, on the west coast of Scotland. Opened in 2019, Lagg Distillery is a modern addition to the island's rich whisky tradition. It is the second distillery of Isle of Arran Distillers, which also operates the well-known Arran Distillery in Lochranza.

A specific feature of Lagg Distillery is its focus on heavily peated whiskies, offering a contrast to the lighter style of the original Arran whiskies. The distillery uses locally sourced peat and traditional copper pot stills to create a deep, smoky flavour.

Lagg whisky is matured in a mix of American oak bourbon casks and European sherry casks, creating a rich and complex flavour. Lagg whiskies are known for their robust character, with pronounced notes of smoke, earthy influences and subtle hints of fruit and spices.

The combination of traditional techniques and a modern approach makes Lagg Distillery an exciting new player in the Scotch whisky world.
