The Arran Quarter Cask "The Bothy" is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Arran, meticulously crafted at the Lochranza distillery. This whisky undergoes an initial maturation period of 7 years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred to smaller 125L quarter casks for an additional 2 years. This process allows for greater interaction between the whisky and the wood, resulting in a more intense and nuanced maturation. The outcome is a full-bodied expression that masterfully balances power and finesse, characterized by rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice.
Bottled at a robust 56.2% ABV, the Arran Quarter Cask "The Bothy" features distinctive notes of citrus and sweet spice, complemented by vanilla and cinnamon on the nose. The palate is a delightful blend of sweetness and depth, offering flavors of vanilla, coconut, and pineapple, followed by a long, sweet finish with lingering fruity elements.
This whisky exudes fresh tropical notes, including pineapple and green apples, enhanced by vanilla and a slight touch of chili that provides a tantalizing heat. The richness of sweetness is effectively balanced by the strength of spiced oak, leaving a lasting impression.
