A Scottish island's newest distillery has unveiled plans for the launch of its first core range.

Lagg Distillery on the Isle of Arran is to launch its  Single Malts range in May following the successful launch of its inaugural batch release last autumn.

The first core range release from the independent distiller will be the LAGG Single Malt Kilmory Edition, which will become the flagship.

The second in the core range will be the LAGG Single Malt Corriecravie Edition.

Graham Omand, Lagg Distillery manager, said: “The Kilmory expression embodies the ‘house style of LAGG’ which centres around the use of Bourbon Barrels with our peated spirit.

“The Corriecravie provides a real contrast, showing off a different side to the LAGG spirit, bringing to the fore notes of sweeter smoke, spices and rich fruits."
