Arran Quarter Cask Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt that delivers bold character with exceptional smoothness at an accessible price point?

Arran Quarter Cask Single Malt Whisky represents one of Scotland’s most innovative maturation techniques, where smaller cask sizes accelerate wood interaction for intensified flavor development. This Premium expression from the Isle of Arran distillery showcases how traditional craftsmanship meets clever innovation. Unlike the Arran 10 Years Single Malt, the quarter cask format delivers richer vanilla and spice notes in a shorter maturation period, while offering different complexity compared to the Arran Sherry Cask expression.

• Distillery: Isle of Arran Distillers – established 1995 as Scotland’s newest distillery at the time
• Region: Isle of Arran, Scotland – island whiskies known for coastal influence and fruity character
• ABV: 40% – balanced strength that reveals sweetness without overwhelming the palate
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Finished in quarter casks (approximately 125 liters vs. standard 200-250 liters)
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals honeyed vanilla with baking spices and citrus zest. Palate delivers creamy toffee, cinnamon, and tropical fruits with gentle oak. Finish is warming with lingering sweetness and subtle pepper
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to unlock hidden complexities

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly approachable for newcomers while offering enough depth for seasoned enthusiasts. The quarter cask influence creates a fuller mouthfeel that typically requires longer aging in standard barrels.

Ideal for: Lunar New Year gifting, introducing friends to island malts, or expanding your home collection. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including char siu pork, beef rendang, dark chocolate desserts, and aged cheeses. Recommended for: Those who appreciate sweeter whisky profiles, at RM 270 this offers exceptional value alongside options like the Arran Robert Burns edition.
