The 2010 released Amarone finish from Arran. This has a similar style to the brilliant Sassicaia finish. Amarone is dry Italian red made using partially dried Corvina grapes, Rondinella grapes and Molinara.

Superb rich smooth quality whisky at an unbelievably good price.
This whisky has been finished in an Amarone cask. That's a dry Italian red wine. As it says on the bottle the colouring is natural - it's simply the whisky picking up a touch of the wine colour from the cask.
My wife actually plucked this up for me as a gift and she based this on a purchase I had made before which was a Macallan finished in sherry oak. This was a fantastic discovery for me and I have enjoyed this single malt so much more. The rich smooth taste with a clean flavorful finish is great. Still can't let the wife know this......she did good.
I would echo the previous review: Dangerously drinkable. It is so creamy, rich, and sweet. It does have a slight dryness on the palate, much like an Amarone wine. Very very very good.
Dangerously drinkable. Don't be swayed by the colour as it is a result of the wine cask. A great purchase.
