Lagg Distillery


Still under construction when we last passed by, this new malt-whisky distillery will open to visitors in 2019. Run by the same folk who operate the distillery in Lochranza, it will focus on a peatier style. There's also an orchard being planted, so look out for cider and apple brandy further down the track.
