Arran Bodega Sherry Cask Whisky | Master of Malt

It’s been a busy couple of years with the new distillery commencing production, paving the way for the creation of a very different style of Arran malt. I reached out to Andy Bell, and he confirmed that The Bodega is exclusively matured in first-fill Oloroso-sherry-seasoned American oak hogsheads, which was selected over European oak to better complement the house style of Arran whisky. After all, other than a few distilleries that sold single malts like Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, and those that were part of Diageo’s classic malts, blends were largely the way by which many distilleries survived during that time.

Firstly, the team at Arran felt that while their principles continued to involve prioritizing the quality of their whisky, there were lost opportunities when it came to consumer engagement due the old bottling design. The work of James MacTaggart shines in a different way with this release, communicating that a good wood policy is one that fits and augments the character of the distillate.Mitchell felt that this move would result in the creation of a constant and recognizable identity that consumers can expect from Arran whisky, an identity that cannot be achieved by their initial preference for experimental finishing.
