In stock

<p>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!</p><p>The Arran Single Malt selected for this cask strength expression was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels&nbsp; before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller Quarter casks also made of the finest American oak.&nbsp; The process of transferring our whisky into the smaller 125 litre sized casks produces far greater contact between the whisky &amp; oak and a faster, more intense maturation.&nbsp;</p><p>The end result is a full-bodied expression of Arran Single Malt&nbsp;combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness&nbsp;and bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural Cask Strength&nbsp;without chill-filtration or artificial colouring of any sort&nbsp;presents this whisky in its purest form.&nbsp;Small casks would have been a common feature of the Arran&nbsp;whisky trade in the eighteenth &amp; nineteenth centuries as&nbsp;they were easier to handle and transport around the island.&nbsp;With our much-loved Quarter Cask expression we proudly bring this tradition back to life.</p><h3><strong>Nose</strong></h3><p>Apple tart, pineapple brioche</p><h3><strong>Palate</strong></h3><p>The citrus hallmarks of Arran welcome you, and the sweet spice of cinnamon and vanilla promises a memorable dram.</p><h3><strong>Finish</strong></h3><p>Sweetness, Honey, Pineapple, Vanilla, Coconut.</p><h2><strong>Awards</strong></h2><p><strong>WWA 2019 Category Winner</strong></p><p><strong>WWA 2018 Category Winner</strong></p>
