Arran The Bothy - Quarter Cask Batch 1

The Arran Single Malt selected for The Bothy was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller quarter casks also made of the finest American oak for a minimum of 18months. This process produces far greater contact between the whisky & oak and a faster, more intense maturation.

The end result is a full-bodied expression of The Arran 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 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. With The Bothy, Arran Distillery proudly bring this tradition back to life.
