The Bothy
We have just built a Scottish Bothy in the Byron Bay hinterland so it was the perfect scotch to accompany the building.
Matured initially in first fill former Bourbon barrels for seven years this single malt is then transferred to smaller American oak quarter casks for an additional two years. These smaller casks ensure a higher ratio of wood to spirit, supercharging this cask strength juice with delicious, oaky flavours. A bothy, for reference, is a kind of communal shelter that offers warmth and safety to travellers in remote Scotland. Apparently a few were even used by illicit distillers back in the day...
ABV: 56.2%
Cask Strength
One of the younger distilleries in Scotland, Arran has quickly established itself as a leading producer. The distillery is particularly notable for making a style of spirit which is markedly less peaty and coastal than other Island distilleries.
Quarter casks were traditionally used to transport whisky by horseback, as two of these smaller casks could be strapped to the either side of the saddle. What distillers discovered was that after being moved in such casks, the spirit had notably intense woody flavours, a result of the increased interaction between the whisky and the cask.
In recent years, the casks have seen a revival, with distillers prizing their ability to add concentrated flavours in a short period of time.
