Arran The Bothy Quarter Cask Batch #1

An Arran matured in smaller quarter casks. These smaller casks have more wood contact creating more flavour. Bottled in September 2015. One of 12,000 bottles. 

The Arran Single Malt selected for \"The Bothy\" was initially matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels before being transferred for secondary maturation into smaller American oak casks for a minimum of 18 months. This process created greater contact between the Whisky and the oak and a much more intense maturation. The end result is a full-bodied expression of the Arran Malt, combing power and finesse full of rich vanilla sweetness and  bold peppery spice. Bottling at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring presents this Whisky in its purest form.

Imperial Tinto 1968

Imperial is one of the fine cellars owned by Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espania (CVNE), with it's stand-alone facilities located in CVNE's original winery.  As a range, Imperial Rioja was first bottled in the 1920s and took its name from the unique bottle size in which the wine was sold - Imperial Pints for the UK market.

Grapes are sourced from selected vineyards which keep their average vine age in excess of 20 years and exclusively from the Rioja Alta subregion thus giving the wine a full character influenced by the cool breezes of the Atlantic Ocean.

This 1968 vintage is likely to be a typical Rioja blend dominated by Tempranillo (about 85%) with some Garnacha (10-15%) and possibly a small volume of Mazuelo (to 5%).
