Arran Amarone Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL is a rich and fruit-forward Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced at Lochranza Distillery on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. This distinctive expression begins with Arran’s signature single malt matured in traditional oak casks before receiving a secondary maturation in Amarone wine casks sourced from Italy. The finishing period adds layers of ripe red fruit, chocolate, spice, and sweetness to Arran’s naturally vibrant citrus and malt character. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), it offers a bold balance between Scottish single malt and Italian wine-cask influence.

The Amarone finish creates an expressive profile filled with fruit and spice. Aromas of ripe cherry, dark berries, chocolate, citrus, vanilla, and sweet malt lead into a full-bodied palate of red fruit, plum, dark chocolate, cinnamon, orange peel, and toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering notes of dark berries, cocoa, sweet spice, malt, and gentle oak.
