Robert Burns Whiskies
Raise a glass to Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns with Arran’s Robert Burns Whisky Collection: inspired by the Scottish poet’s connection to Ayrshire and Arran. Although the bard never actually visited the Isle of Arran, he is certain to have been able to see it on clear days as he laboured in the fields of Alloway, Ayrshire, on his father's farm.
There were several illicit stills on Arran which produced whisky that many claimed to be "among the finest whiskies available". They shipped this to Dunure in Ayrshire - then the centre of the illegal whisky trade - before shipping it to the gentry in Scotland's major cities.
These whiskies tell a story of craftsmanship and Scotland’s whisky heritage.

The Robert Burns Single Malt
This exclusive Robert Burns edition of the Arran Single Malt has been skilfully created by combining different ages to produce a beautifully rounded whisky that is smooth, malty and sweet, with a delicious spicy twist on the finish.
The use of mainly American oak ex-Bourbon casks in maturation accentuates the sweet-fruity notes of Arran whilst a smaller proportion of ex-Sherry hogsheads adds depth and richness. Enjoy this delicious dram neat, with ice, or as part of a classic whisky cocktail. Raise a glass and toast Scotland’s national poet and favourite son.
