Product Information

This isn’t just the best NAS whisky on the market, it is probably the best value for money you will find also. Content on this site is not intended to substitute for advice given by medical practitioner, pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professional. The distillery takes pride in its traditional production methods, including copper pot stills and aging in a variety of cask types, resulting in whiskies that showcase the diverse flavors of the island. Scotch broom’s coconut-floral, bushy notes are around the periphery too – my favourite wild plant and in fabulous bloom right now, FYI.

Matured initially in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, this expression is finished for two years in quarter casks, which are much smaller than your average run-of-the-mill cask.Full-bodied, this cask-strength single malt delivers the classic Arran citrus notes with rich vanilla and spice and is best enjoyed as it comes. The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks also made of the finest American oak. Each sip of Arran whisky evokes the serene beauty of the Isle of Arran, delivering a harmonious and delightful experience.

It requires a little bit more money to acquire than the Arran 10yo, but the elevation of ABV over the 10 should also elevate the smell and taste experience. My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

I’ve had to work for an answer, looking into historical bottlings where I see there’s an older style presentation with a picture of a bothy on the bottle label, but it’s still not clear why. It’s like saying Dougie Crystal “The Carrot Cake” – it has no point of reference, relevance or reason for being stated.

If you don’t have the tubes, which I never do because of my illuminated supershelf, the bottles only state in big bold typeset “QUARTER CASK” and “SHERRY CASK”, so I’m not sure why these auxiliary names are used, or inferred, only on the tube. The usual suspects are in abundance here – vanilla and honey, the fancy exotic stuff that costs double in Sainsbury’s. We have the right to transfer, assign the license granted by you to us, or grant licenses and sublicenses to our licensees, or have and allow them granting sublicenses to licensees to any other parties. I’ve been progressively working my way through the Bodega over the past seven or eight months, and each time I think I enjoy it, but am always left feeling a bit deflated.
