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. The wine casks used in this bottling were sourced from an artisan producer of Amarone wine in the Veneto region of Italy. A luxurious Italian wine meets a complex and vibrant Scottish character – there is a lot to love and appreciate about this Single Malt and you will enjoy every dram.
Nose – 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 and toffee. 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
