The Arran 2004 Orkney Bere is a unique whisky with a rich history, as it is made from Scotland's oldest cultivated barley, known as Bere, which was commonly used for whisky production until the 19th century. This particular Bere was grown on the island of Orkney and malted in Inverness before being distilled on the Isle of Arran. The limited release of 5,800 bottles is a collaboration with the Agronomy Institute of Orkney College (University of the Highlands and Islands), highlighting the significance of this traditional Scottish ingredient.
The whisky has been matured for over 8 years in American Oak barrels, giving it a beautiful ripe golden barley color. The use of Bere barley results in a unique flavor profile, making this whisky truly special. It was bottled in 2012 at a cask strength of 46%, making it a delight for whisky connoisseurs and collectors alike. This whisky not only offers a taste of Scotland's past but also supports the revival of traditional Scottish ingredients and distillation methods.
