Arran 2004 (bottled 2014) Orkney Bere Barley Cask Strength

Arran's 10-year-old single malt (2004–2014) uses heritage Bere barley—an ancient strain cultivated in Scotland for over a thousand years—distilled and matured in ex-bourbon barrels before bottling at cask strength. The result is a clean, vibrant spirit that showcases the barley's distinctive spicy, peppery character alongside classic Island notes of honey and sea salt. The texture is robust and unfiltered, with a dry, lingering finish that underscores the grain's heritage terroir. A compelling expression for those interested in Scottish agricultural heritage and how grain selection shapes final character.
