Arran Amarone Cask Finish is a distinctive and flavorful single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Arran, finished in Amarone wine casks to create a unique fusion of rich, fruity flavors. Aged initially in traditional oak casks, the whisky is then transferred to Amarone casks, imparting deep notes of dark fruit, red wine, and subtle spice, balanced by the classic Arran malt profile. The result is a smooth, complex whisky with layers of dried fruit, chocolate, and a hint of Italian red wine influence. Available at Whiskey Caviar, Arran Amarone Cask Finish is perfect for whisky enthusiasts looking to explore a refined, wine-influenced Scotch.
