Arran Quarter cask – This cask strength expression initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels for 7 years. Then it was transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks of American oak for a further 2 years. Transferring our whisky into 125 litre casks for their final 2 years of maturation. Produces far greater contact between the whisky and oak. And a faster more intense maturation.

The end result is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt combining power and finesse. Full of rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arran whisky trade in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As they were easier to handle and transport around the island. With our much loved Quarter Cask we proudly bring this tradition back to life.
