📯 Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy Whisky Review 770
🔊 Welcome back to Whisky Whistle 🥃
🎞️ In this episode of Whisky Whistle, Mark reviews the Arran Quarter Cask (The Bothy), matured over 7 years in bourbon barrels and finished in 125L American oak quarter casks for two years. Expect citrusy smells and flavours, dessert and candy-like notes, and maritimeyness, all delivered at full cask strength.
After tasting it neat and with water, this non-chill-filtered, natural-color Scotch earns a very high Whisky Whistle Whisky Score of **/100. If you’ve been hesitating because it’s NAS — this might change your mind.
You’ll get the full walk through: a real-time tasting you can follow along with as you sip your Arran Quarter Cask! Neat, and then with a little water.
🌋MUST SEE!
If you’ve been on the fence….
this detailed whisky review will help you decide.
