Arran Quarter Cask

Our Quarter Cask expression is a complex, rich, and intensely fruity Single Malt, a cask strength delight, and the perfect partner to our Sherry Cask Single Malt!

The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initiallymatured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years before beingtransferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casksalso made of the finest American oak for a further 2 years. The process of transferring our whisky into the smaller 125 liter-sized casks for their final 2 years of maturation produces far greater contact betweenthe whisky & oak and a faster, more intense maturation.

The end result is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Maltcombining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetnessand bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strengthwithout chill-filtration or artificial coloring of any sortpresents this whisky in its purest form.Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arranwhisky trade in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries asthey were easier to handle and transport around the island.With our much-loved Quarter Cask expression, we proudly bring this tradition back to life.
