Arran, The Bothy Quarter Cask, Isle of Arran, Scotland

Product Description

The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks also made of the finest American oak for a further 2 years. This process produces far greater contact between the whisky & oak and a faster, more intense maturation, resulting in a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring of any sort presents this whisky in its purest form. Small casks were a common feature of the Arran whisky trade in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries and this much-loved Quarter Cask expression we proudly brings this tradition back to life.
