Arran Single Malt Whisky (Amarone Cask)

After initially maturing in traditional oak casks over a number of years The Arran Single Malt in this bottling was ‘finished’ in a selection of Amarone wine casks sourced from an artisan producer of this iconic Italian red wine. Our Master Blender, James MacTaggart, has carefully monitored this period of secondary maturation to ensure the perfect balance is struck between the Amarone casks and the intrinsic sweet-fruity character of Arran Single Malt. The end result is a Single Malt full of charm, complexity and quality.

Aroma - Poached pears and honey  followed by toasted almonds and a  subtle touch of cranberry. With water a  coffee note appears together with chocolate orange and mellow butterscotch.

Palate - Dark chocolate, cherry and  Turkish delights are evident as are  stewed fruits andtoffee. Rich notes of  dark plum gently mellow together with  bitter-sweet apricot and a hint of cinnamon.

Finish - A well-balanced combination  of the finesse of Arran Single Malt and  the restrained fruit and oak from the  Amarone casks. Concentrated and  elegant this malt delivers on all levels.
