Arran The Bothy Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
Small, easily transportable whisky casks were a common feature of the island’s illicit distilling past. Reflecting this heritage, after initial aging in ex-bourbon barrels, The Quarter Cask is transferred to smaller ‘quarter’ casks, intensifying the maturation process and adding an extra dimension of spice.
Arran’s signature citrus profile is enhanced by fresh tropical pineapple notes, green apple and vanilla. With indulgent sweetness backed by spiced oak notes, this is a sumptuous and satisfying dram. ABV 56.2% (Cask strength).

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery undertones and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Bright citrus zest leads, opening to tropical pineapple and green apple. Vanilla sweetness glides through warm, spiced oak, delivering a lush, coastal-tinged richness. The quarter-cask maturation sharpens the spice while keeping a bright fruit core, inviting with a precise, tempered intensity.
Palate
Bright citrus with tropical pineapple and crisp green apple greet the palate, anchored by vanilla and a decadent sweetness. Spiced oak brings warmth—cinnamon and clove—while the cask-strength weight coats the mouth. A long, citrusy finish carries echoes of tropical fruit and refined spice.
Finish
Long, lip-staining finish of spiced oak and vanilla, with indulgent sweetness lingering against a backdrop of citrus zest. Tropical pineapple and green apple echo in the background, tapering to a bold, warm fade.
