Arran The Bothy – Quarter Cask (Batch 4)

Description

Arran The Bothy Quarter Cask (Batch 4) Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 53.8%)

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 casks also made of the finest American oak for a minimum of 18 months. This is Batch 4, bottled in 2018. This process produces far greater contact between the whisky and 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 and nineteenth centuries as they were easier to handle and transport around the island. With The Bothy we proudly bring this tradition back to life. Limited Edition of 13,800 Bottles Worldwide. Gold medal and category winner at the World Whiskies Awards 2018 and 2019.
