The Arran Sherry Cask "The Bodega" is a single malt whisky from the Arran distillery, distilled and matured in Lochranza, Scotland. Introduced in 2019, this whisky is part of the distillery's permanent range and has been matured for 7 years in 250L sherry hogshead casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. The Bodega is a luxurious and elegant single malt, boasting rich layers of fruit and spice. The nose opens with chocolate-coated raisins, mandarins, and a touch of spice, followed by a palate that is warm and rich with sweet cherries, ripe figs, and luxurious sherry notes. The finish brings notes of pink pepper, hazelnut, and toasted oak.
This whisky marks a return to the style of some of the earliest Arran Single Malts, which were predominantly matured in sherry casks. It is a 100% sherry-matured single malt, aged in some of the finest casks available in the whisky industry, and bottled at cask strength. The distillery's Master Distiller has collaborated with producers in some of the most prestigious Sherry Bodegas in Jerez, Spain, to select only the best quality casks for maturation. This bottling is a limited edition and is an excellent choice for those who enjoy their single malt with plenty of body and complexity.
