Robert Burns whiskey: history, overview of taste and types
Scotch dedicated to the poet should be refined and sophisticated. This is how Robert Burns whiskey from the Isle of Arran was created.
It is noteworthy that only a local distillery is authorized to use the portrait and signature of the famous Scottish poet on the labels of its products.
The history of the brand
Located in the Firth of Clyde, the island of Arran is famous for its unique topography and amazingly beautiful nature. For the combination of mountainous and flat areas in a compact territory, it was even nicknamed "Scotland in miniature". It was this corner with a special microclimate and clean water that was chosen by the Curry family to build a distillery.
