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 - one of the best at the price point... Wish it weren't discontinued!
If I were only allowed 5 whiskeys for the rest of my life this would be one of them. Strong, fruity, sweet...what more can I say. Total antithesis of Ardbeg or Lagavulin but every bit as much a gem
very deceptive you would never know it was cask strength - very easy drinking and one i'll keep on my shelf - my favourite go to whisky moderately priced and always a favourite for anyone wanting to try something different - worth a try and certainly one for my collection
A hidden gem!
Picked this up the other day, attracted to being stored in Amarone casks. This is cask strength but very easy drinking so beware that it can go down easy. Floral on the nose, red fruit like plum and cherries. Palate very smooth, no burn anywhere, the Amarone introduction brings in a Rosé type of flavour, subtle and soft, more fruit not citrus but the fleshy kind, cantaloupe, plum and cherries. Really different tasting whisky and a pleasant surprise.
