Arran Amarone Sauternes Finish Single Malt Scotch 700mL brings together two distinctive wine-cask influences with the bright, fruit-forward character of Arran Single Malt from Lochranza Distillery on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. This special expression showcases maturation influenced by both Amarone red wine and Sauternes dessert wine casks, creating a layered combination of rich red fruit, honeyed sweetness, citrus, spice, and malt. The contrasting wine styles add depth and complexity while allowing Arran’s fresh island character to remain at the center of the whisky.

The aroma opens with ripe berries, apricot, honey, citrus, vanilla, and sweet malt, followed by a palate filled with red fruit, golden raisins, orchard fruit, caramelized citrus, baking spice, and gentle oak. The Amarone influence contributes darker fruit and spice, while the Sauternes character brings honey, stone fruit, and dessert-like sweetness. The finish is lingering and fruit-forward with honey, warming spice, malt, and soft oak.
