Description
The Arran distillery makes its whisky the old way, using only few ingredients concerto barley and water from Loch na Davie, the purest in Scotland. The purity of the water means that the distillers can create a clean, sweet dram which is entirely natural and unadulterated. The malted barley and water are mixed, and yeast is added to begin fermentation. The resulting wash is double-distilled in copper pot stills. This colorless liquid is matured in oak casks which have held wines and spirits like sherry and bourbon, which gives the whiskies their color and unique character. Once they reach the desired age, most of the single malts are bottled at 46% ABV or at cask-strength. Arrans Quarter Cask expression or The Bothy is a complex, rich and intensely fruity single malt, bottled at cask strength. The Arran Single Malt selected for this expression was initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels for 7 years, and then transferred for secondary, 2-year maturation into smaller Quarter casks made of the finest American oak, which produces far greater contact between the whisky and oak, resulting in a faster, more intense maturation.
