Arran The Bothy Quarter Cask<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Our Quarter Cask expression is a complex, rich and intensely fruity Single Malt, a cask strength delight and the perfect partner to our Sherry Cask Single Malt!<\/p>\n

The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initially\u00a0matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years before being\u00a0transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks\u00a0also made of the finest American oak for a further 2 years. The process of transferring our whisky into the smaller 125 litre sized casks for their final 2 years of maturation produces far greater contact between\u00a0the whisky & oak and a faster, more intense maturation.<\/p>\n

The end result is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt\u00a0combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness\u00a0and bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strength\u00a0without chill-filtration or artificial colouring of any sort\u00a0presents this whisky in its purest form.\u00a0Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arran\u00a0whisky trade in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries as\u00a0they were easier to handle and transport around the island.\u00a0With our much-loved Quarter Cask expression we proudly bring this tradition back to life.” -From<\/span> Arran website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
