Leading brand developer, Malcolm Cowen, has been appointed as UK agent for award-winning Whisky producer, The Isle of Arran Distillery.
Previously distributed by Cellar Trends, The Isle of Arran Distillery has appointed Malcolm Cowen to develop sales in key retail and on-trade channels.
Malcolm Cowen will be responsible for building the profile of selected lines in the range, including: The Arran Malt 10 Year Old; The Arran Malt Wood Finish Series; The Arran Malt Single Cask Series; Lochranza Blend, Robert Burns Malt and Blend and Arran Gold Malt Whisky Cream Liqueur, with RRPs ranging from £13.99 to £39.99.
The Isle of Arran Distillery is one of the last remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. Based in the village of Lochranza on the Isle of Arran, which lies off the West coast of Scotland, the Distillery was opened in 1995 and remains the only Distillery on the island. Twelve different locations on Arran were tested before it was discovered that the water source at Lochranza was amongst the purest in Scotland.
The Distillery only uses traditional methods, with wooden washbacks and bespoke copper stills, and unlike most other whisky companies, neither uses peat nor relies on caramel as a colouring agent. Arran Single Malts are also non-chill filtered to ensure that the natural flavour elements remain in the spirit and the original character is retained to ensure “the true spirit of nature”.
David John, sales director, commented: “we are delighted to be representing the Isle of Arran Distillery portfolio; the individuality and breadth of the range gives us a great opportunity to develop sales within this dynamic sector. The use of traditional methods and a non interventionist approach give these whiskies a really strong selling point for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.”
