This is a favourite whisky, packed with flavour and not too strong. It goes down easily with or without a drop of water. Bought it for my son last Christmas, and he loves it! Great price too.

Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’ is a stunning new addition to Arran’s core range of whiskies and is the perfect choice for someone who enjoys their Single Malt with plenty of body and complexity.
This bottling is a return to the style of some of the earliest Arran Single Malt, which was mostly 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 the Master Distiller in his work with different wood types and supreme cask selection.

Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Whisky is a special edition single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Arran Distillery on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. It is part of their range of cask-finished expressions, where the whisky undergoes an additional maturation period in casks that previously held fine Spanish sherry.
Bodega sherry refers to the wineries in Spain where sherry is produced and aged. The casks used for finishing the whisky have previously held high-quality sherry, allowing the whisky to absorb the distinctive characteristics of this fortified wine.
During the finishing period, the whisky interacts with the residual flavors and aromas left in the Bodega sherry casks, imparting rich and complex notes of dried fruits, raisins, nuts, spices, and a subtle sweetness. The sherry influence adds depth and a distinct character to the original flavors of the Arran whisky, resulting in a unique and flavorful expression.
Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Whisky is often described as having a full-bodied and indulgent profile. It showcases a combination of fruity, nutty, and spiced flavors, with hints of dark chocolate, caramel, and a velvety mouthfeel. The influence of the sherry casks adds layers of complexity and richness to the whisky.
Each batch of Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Finish may display slight variations in flavor and characteristics due to the nature of cask finishing and the individual casks used. This allows whisky enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the unique qualities found in different bottlings.
Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Finish is typically enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. It pairs well with rich desserts, dark chocolate, and aged cheeses, complementing the whisky’s depth and enhancing the overall tasting experience.
The production of Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Finish Whisky follows the regulations and quality standards set by the Scotch Whisky Association. It is aged for a minimum of three years in Scotland and usually bottled at a strength of 50% ABV (alcohol by volume) or higher.
In summary, Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Finish Whisky is a single malt Scotch whisky that undergoes a finishing period in casks previously used for Bodega sherry maturation. It combines the original flavors of Arran whisky with the influence of the sherry casks, resulting in a full-bodied and indulgent expression. With its fruity, nutty, and spiced profile, Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Finish offers a unique and enjoyable whisky experience for enthusiasts and those who appreciate the complexities of sherry cask-aged whiskies.
