Everything about this Arran release, from the name right down to the quaint and comforting imagery on the label makes you feel like you are indeed enjoying your dram in a cosy Scottish bothy, complete with crackling fire of course.Am not an advocate of watering whisky but this really benefits the flavour and seems to make it more viscous and the flavour lingers long. 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 Arran 10 might be the winner of accolades, but this Quarter Cask expression is, to all intents and purposes, a large step up from that great entry point, even if it was young. Arran Quarter Cask Single Malt was initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels for seven years before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller quarter casks also made of the finest American oak for a further two years. For those of you who are not familiar with the term “Quarter Cask”, it simply refers to the size/dimensions of the cask itself. 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.A quarter size of a standard whiskey barrel, a quarter cask has far more wood-to-liquid ratio which accelerates the maturation process and results in a more ‘robust’ finished product.
