About this bottle

The Arran Orkney Bere, a product of a 2004 collaboration between the Agronomy Institute of Orkney College, University of the Highlands and Islands, and the Arran Distillery, is notable for its use of Bere Barley. This ancient grain variety, primarily cultivated on Orkney, had not been utilized in whisky production for over a century. The spirit undergoes maturation in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for a duration exceeding 8 years, and it is presented without chill-filtration or added coloring.
