Arran The Bothy Quarter Cask Batch 3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
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 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 we proudly bring this tradition back to life.
Batch 3 for 2017. 53.2% abv • Limited Edition of 12,000 Bottles Worldwide.
Batch 3 of the bothy feels like a bit more time in the Quarter casks have given this some firmer vanillin oak, still plenty of classic Arran tropical fruit and spice here.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep honey-gold amber with copper-bronze highlights.
Nose
Fresh, grassy barley unfolds into custard tart and vanilla icing, with hints of wood shavings and sponge cake mix, a whisper of cinnamon toast, cream soda, and bright pineapple juice.
Palate
Bright tinned pineapple with vanilla ice cream leads into sour apple sweets, sugared almonds and lime cordial, all carried on a fizzy spice over a firm oak body.
Finish
Custard powder lingers with chocolate lime sweets, sweet-and-sour chews, grassy-barley sugar, and a drying kiss of vanillin oak.
