Arran Malt Amarone Wine Finish, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2017 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
This 2017 edition is non-chill filtered and finished in Amarone dry Italian red wine casks. Slightly perfumed on the nose, with a suggestion of madeira, plus malt and ripe pears. Viscous in the mouth; earthy, with plum and dry blackcurrant, black coffee, and plain chocolate, balanced by notes of honey. Mouth-drying in the finish, with a touch of tannic oak.
