Description
For the Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy, the distillery selected a single malt 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 another 2 years.
The process of transferring the whisky into smaller sized casks for the last 2 years of maturation allows greater contact between the oak and whisky resulting in a faster and more intense maturation.
The resulting whisky is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt combining finesse and power full of bold peppery spice and rich vanilla sweetness.
Bottled at natural Cask Strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring of any sort allows this whisky to appear in its purest form.
Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arran whisky trade in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries as they were easier to handle and transport around the island.
