The Arran Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’

Introduction

Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’ is a stunning addition to The Arran core range of whiskies and is the perfect choice for someone who enjoys their Single Malt with plenty of body and complexity. Matured in some of the finest casks in the whisky industry, this cask-strength 100% Sherry matured Single Malt is luxurious and elegant with layers of rich sweet spice and oak. Their Master Distiller has worked with producers in some of the most prestigious Sherry Bodegas in Jerez, Spain, to select only the best quality casks to be filled with their precious spirit. This bottling is a return to the style of some of the earliest Arran Single Malt, predominantly matured in Sherry Casks. During a tasting, this expression is the perfect partner to their Quarter Cask ‘The Bothy’ as it showcases the skill and expertise of their Master Distiller in his work with different wood types and supreme cask selection.
