Seven years of maturation take place in ex-bourbon casks, with a further 2 years inside quarter casks – 125L diddybutts that accelerate the oak’s influence on the whisky, imparting more rapid flavour to the spirit. The end result is a full-bodied expression of The Arran Malt combining power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness and bold peppery spice.
