Arran 10 Years ‘Arran Barley’ #001 (Optic)

Local Barley is a thing these days, taking inspiration from Springbank and from the wider interest in heritage grains and terroir-driven whisky. Today's dram is a 10 year old Arran, the first edition of the Arran Barley series .The Optic barley was grown at Bellevue Farm by the Currie family. It matured in first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill sherry hogsheads, in proportions similar to their classic 10 year old expression. From now on they will release an annual bottling showcasing different barley varieties and cask types.
