This very collectable expression is distilled using Bere Barley grown on Orkney, this spirit has then been placed to mature in American oak barrels for over ten years before being bottled free from chill filtration and artificial colourings at a natural cask strength of 56.2% abv.

Arran's Orkney Bere Barley single malt returns, and at cask strength, too! This release sees the Isle of Arran distillers teaming up with the the University of the Highlands and Islands Orkney College to create this 10 year old expression, made from Bere barley - a very old strain of barley introduced to Scotland over 1,000 years ago. The whisky was distilled in 2004, left to mature in ex-bourbon barrels, before being bottled at 10 years old in 2014. 4,890 bottles were produced. 

Although the Isle of Arran was once a hot-bed of distilling activity, there were no distilleries on the island for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Arran distillery opened in 1995, and quickly became a firm favourite. They bottled their first single malt in 1998, a limited edition 3 year old in a glass decanter. Today the distillery also produces a peated single malt called Machrie Moor, and their parent company have opened a second distillery called Lagg on the other side of the island.
