The distillery was established as part of Arran’s distilling heritage and focuses on traditional production methods combined with modern facilities.
Visitors can choose guided tours and curated tastings that explain the whisky-making process from malt to maturation. The Lagg Whisky Experience takes guests behind the scenes to explore production areas and learn about flavour development while offering views across the Firth of Clyde to Ailsa Craig. The Chocolate & Whisky Pairing pairs three Lagg inaugural releases with six James of Arran chocolates in the whisky bar for a structured tasting. The Lagg Select Tasting is held in the distillery’s Tasting Lab and is led by knowledgeable tour guides who present limited and special expressions.
The venue provides educational commentary on cask selection, maturation, and flavour profiles. Accessibility, safety, and responsible tasting are part of the visitor information provided at booking.
