Description

Arran's The Bothy single malt has joined the Island distillery's permanent range! Matured initially in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, this expression is finished for two years in quarter casks, which are much smaller than your average run-of-the-mill cask. Finally, it's bottled at a generous 56.2% ABV.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Honeyed malt balanced by oaky spice and a whiff of bright citrus.

Palate

Coconut and almond, followed by apricot and pineapple. Black pepper and menthol.

Finish

Lingering cherry and cinnamon on the finish.

Wow, what a whisky

Arran really have nailed it. This is exactly as described by Master of Malt. And absolutely fabulous.

Beautiful Quarter Cask

Spice, Vanilla, Honey, Citrus, Oak. And as online reviewers have said, also Banana, Bubblegum, Apples. It’s a beautiful young whisky. Completely recommended and it will definitely be a re-purchase

Very good.

A solid, strong whisky with bite, & even though it has no smoke or peaty character, (which I'll admit I have a bias towards,) this is a worthwhile investment and a very good bottle to try and certainly enjoy. Honey notes upon entry with a sharp, strong but not unpleasant afterburn, this is one damn fine whisky! Well done, Arran!

Character and Complex...

So...I'm no whisky expert but having experimented with a good few, my sweet spot whisky's are either a Balevenie 12 Double Wood, or my fave which is the Arran 10 Year...so after reading these reviews had to try the Arran 'The Bothy'. With the higher abv it definitely benefits from a drop of water...but I most call out the glorious tropical waves of flavour, which fade into a slight smokey heat. Its delicious. If I give the Arran 10 Year a 5 star due to its beautiful sweet balance, this gets a 4.5...more character and more complex...more challenging. The Bothy is now 1 of the 3 bottles always in my drinks cabinet...great work!

Best NAS around

This isn’t just the best NAS whisky on the market, it is probably the best value for money you will find also. A really nice drop, better than many age statement whiskies I’ve had. I prefer it to the Arran 10, but nothing can ever top their 18, that stuff is a work of art. Still though, any whisky drinker whether experienced or not will enjoy this one. Good old reliable Arran!
