The Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy 55.2% 700ml is a remarkable whisky crafted by the Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd, a distillery founded in 1995 on the scenic Scottish island of Arran. This unique expression begins its maturation journey in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing secondary maturation for a minimum of 18 months in smaller quarter casks made of American oak. This process intensifies the interaction between the whisky and the oak, resulting in a faster and richer maturation. The outcome is a full-bodied whisky that beautifully balances power and finesse, exuding rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice. Bottled at its natural cask strength of 55.2%, this expression is neither chill-filtered nor colored artificially, preserving its pure essence. With a limited release of just 12,000 bottles worldwide, The Bothy Quarter Cask stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Arran Distillery. Named "The Bothy" in tribute to the small huts used by farmers and crofters in the 18th and 19th centuries as temporary shelters and places for social gatherings, this whisky brings a piece of Scottish heritage to every sip. The Bothy Quarter Cask boasts a rich and intense flavor profile with notes of vanilla, honey, cinnamon, pepper, and apricot, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied and complex whisky.
