Bere is Scotland’s oldest cultivated barley and was commonly used until the 20th century for the production of whisky. This Single Malt Scotch whisky was produced in 2004 as a collaboration between the Agronomy Institute of Orkney College (University of the Highland & Islands), hence the Orkney in the name, and the Isle of Arran Distillery. The Bere barley for this Arran whisky was grown on Orkney before being malted in Inverness and subsequently distilled and matured on Arran. It has been matured for over 8 years in American oak barrels and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or the addition of artificial colouring. Modern barley varieties have long since eclipsed Bere in the whisky industry but, as this bottling testifies, it can still produce a distinctive Single Malt , offering us a glimpse at how whisky might have tasted a few 100’s of years back.
