It operates as a sister distillery to Lochranza (home of the Arran single malt range), but the two facilities produce very different spirits. Lagg distills twice in handmade copper pot stills at nearly twice the speed of Lochranza, producing a cloudy wort that delivers a more oily, robust new-make spirit. Kilmory uses Concerto malted barley peated to 50 ppm and matures exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels. The whisky is bottled non-chill filtered with no added coloring, preserving the full weight and texture of the distillate. The distillery itself was named Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year in 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heather smoke leads, followed by charred citrus — think blackened lemon peel — then quieter notes of banana peel and vegetal peat.

The mid-palate develops layers of crushed mint, black pepper, and charred pear skin, while the bourbon barrel influence contributes underlying sweetness.

Kilmory tends to be more citrus-forward and oily in texture, while Ledaig from the Isle of Mull often leans toward meatier, more medicinal peat notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Kilmory good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, Kilmory was designed for neat drinking, and a few drops of water can further open its aromatic complexity without losing body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Kilmory made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Kilmory is produced at Lagg Distillery on the southern coast of the Isle of Arran, Scotland.

The production approach — cloudy wort, fast distillation, first-fill bourbon only, no chill filtration — results in a peated malt that genuinely tastes different from Islay or Campbeltown counterparts. For drinkers who find Islay peat polarizing, Kilmory offers a more citrus-bright, texturally rich alternative rooted in a specific place and a distinctive distilling philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lagg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839428194473,"sku":"39803","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Lagg-Kilmory-Single-Malt__36460.jpg?v=1730521118"},{"product_id":"lagg-corriecravie-single-malt-700ml","title":"Lagg Corriecravie Single Malt 700ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLagg Corriecravie Single Malt 700ML\u003c\/strong\u003e is a heavily peated, sherry-finished single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 55% ABV in a 700ml format.
