Description

The second batch of Arran's 'The Bothy' Quarter Cask was initially aged in first-fill bourbon barrels before being finished for American-oak quarter casks for about 18 months to two years. This process creates greater contact between the whisky and oak, resulting in a faster and more intense maturation. It is bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, and has no artificial coloring. This limited edition is sweet and spicy with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and toast.

Nose
An alert and fresh scent of vanilla, caramel, freshly cut grass and a whole flower bouquet. Sweet green apples, pears and apricot together with honey and fresh lemon notes. Lemon peel, candy floss and a hint of cocoa. Honeyed malt balanced by oaky spice and a whiff of bright citrus. Ripe orchard fruit, vanilla, coconut, and a touch of cinnamon.
Palate
Green apples and pears. Delicious citrus notes with elements of vanilla and honey. A nice kick of chili heat to the sweet fruit. Wood notes like sandalwood. Exotic fruit such as pineapple emerge. Fresh tropical notes with pineapple, green apples and vanilla. Coconut and almond, followed by apricot and black pepper and menthol. Rich honey, spice, apple tart, malted barley, and citrus oil.
Finish
Medium-long with oaky spiciness and vanilla. Aromatic, fruity and satisfying. The depth of sweetness is backed up by strength of the spiced oak, creating a lasting impression. Lingering cherry and cinnamon. Long and warming with spice, oak, and sweet tropical fruit.
