The distillery of the Isle of Arran was founded by Harold Currie, former director of Chivas and of the House of Campbell. The spirit produced in the distillery has officially been called "whisky" since the summer of 1998. To celebrate this event, a limited bottling has been released, to restore an ancient tradition. Indeed, 150 years ago whisky was already being produced on the Isle of Islay, which is still the home of several notable distilleries. The Isle of Arran is sometimes called "Scotland in miniature" because all the variety of landscapes found in Scotland are present on this small island, like mountains, plains, lakes, valleys and royal castles. There used to be about fifty distilleries on the island, but most of them were "moonlight" or illegal distilleries. A proportion of the casks are stored in the warehouses of Springbank, due to a lack of room in the distillery, and the legal impossibility of extending the current warehouses at the Arran distillery. The whisky of Arran is used in lots of blends, among others Loch Ranza and Holy Isle Cream Liquor.
