LAGG Distillery: Arran Waters

For centuries, the small communities of Arran resorted to crafty means to boost their income, clandestinely distilling their own spirit in makeshift stills. This covert operation birthed what would be famously known as 'Arran Waters', a prized whisky covertly transported from Lagg and peddled across mainland Scotland. Thrilled by the opportunity to pay homage to this rich heritage, we embarked on a journey to create an immersive animated environment as part of the LAGG Distillery visitor experience.

We meticulously curated a narrative, intertwining hidden treasures from historical archives with captivating footage captured on the Isle of Arran. Playing with the primal elements of fire, water, and wind, our film came to life, casting its mesmerising glow onto the wooden floor beneath the audience's feet.
