Considering the last review was against a finish that was as fleeting as a mayfly, The Bothy’s finish was a delightful counter.

Opened as recently as 1995, Arran is a relatively new distillery located on the island of the same name, just off the west coast of Scotland. 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.Arran Distillery, located on the picturesque Isle of Arran in Scotland, is celebrated for its production of exceptional single malt Scotch whisky. Arran distillery have made themselves a name for their fantastic consistency over the years and this doesn’t disappoint.

When the dram was almost finished, I started noticing a significant leather/wood scent on the latter half of the nose. The generous ABV makes up for the no age statement (NAS is proving to be popular these days anyway) as there’s still some complexity revealed with water added. While I won’t say The Bothy is quite there yet, it’s close and the only reason I did not rate it slightly higher. Their core range includes a number of aged and no-aged expressions, as well as some cask experimentation. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.For those of you who are not familiar with the term “Quarter Cask”, it simply refers to the size/dimensions of the cask itself. The liquid was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks also made of the finest American oak for a further 2 years.

Sweet apples, cloves and coconut notes from the whisky meet and blend wonderfully with strong coffee and herbal bitter flavours for a refreshing yet dark and warming pick-me-up.

There’s a picture of a bothy on the tube (but not the bottle) and I know that there’s loads of wee white-washed stone houses on islands and in the highlands, but there’s literally nothing to explain why this whisky is referred to as “The Bothy”. The end result is a full-bodied expression of The Arran Malt combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice.
