Arran Quarter Cask 'The Bothy' Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Arran Quarter Cask 'The Bothy' is a bold and characterful island single malt that showcases the quality and purity of the Isle of Arran Distillery. After its initial maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is transferred into smaller quarter casks, increasing the interaction between spirit and oak to create greater depth, richness and complexity. Bottled at a robust 56.2% ABV and non-chill filtered, it delivers an authentic, full-flavoured whisky experience. The nose is fresh and inviting, with aromas of vanilla, sweet citrus and ripe orchard fruits, layered with honey, coconut, toasted oak and a hint of freshly baked brioche. On the palate, the higher strength brings impressive intensity without sacrificing balance. Flavours of creamy vanilla, caramel, baked apple and pear are joined by notes of cinnamon, ginger, toasted almonds and warming oak spice. A subtle touch of pepper and citrus zest adds vibrancy, while the creamy mouthfeel carries the flavours effortlessly. The finish is long, warming and satisfying, lingering with sweet vanilla, gentle spice, toasted oak and a touch of coconut. A beautifully crafted cask-strength single malt, The Bothy highlights Arran's elegant, fruit-driven house style, while the quarter casks add extra richness and texture. Enjoy it neat for maximum intensity or with a few drops of water to reveal even more layers of fruit and spice.
