Single Malt
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.
This is a great mix of the classic Arran malt spirit with a complex and uncommon finishing cask. Lots of dried fruit flavours on show. This is a strong spirit which for my palette benefits from a couple of drops of water.
Having just criticised the harshness of the Amarone finish I've just mixed some of the Sauternes finish with the Amarone finish and the result is most pleasing.
Have had the Sherry Cask, the Bothy and the sauternes finish in recent weeks and have been impressed by them all, so was looking forward to this. Much more nose if amarone than flavour. Disappointed by the alcoholic harshness. I don't normally add water but this needs it to make it palatable. Hopefully it will mellow if i leave it for a month..or more
an oily mouth and a mix of fruit, and spice. A drop of O2 is benificial here. sweet at first with cherries and maybe redcurrents... dries nicely and has a reasonable finish. Ive held on to not opening this(old bottle) for some time, but now is the time and it is a lovely whisky. might be a bit of strawberry on the palate too, good value and, yes, i would buy again. struth
too much breath of alcohol
