About The Arran Amarone Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky
One of the handful of independent distilleries in Scotland, the first Arran distillery was opened about 25 years ago in Lochranza on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. Their second location opened its doors in the south of the island at Lagg. The local terroir is essential to their traditional whisky making – at Arran, they say it’s all about the water. Sourcing the rainwater pooling at Loch na Davie behind the distillery, the clear and pure water is where their natural and unadulterated Single Malts begin with the warm microclimate and sea breezes providing the ideal conditions for production. Sourcing concerto barley and employing old, artisanal methods, nothing artificial ever finds its way into Arran whiskies that boast a natural color and are not chill filtered.
Arran Amarone Cask Finish is the perfect marriage of rich, red wines and their signature Arran Single Malt flavor. Aged in traditional oak casks for several years, this expression is finished in a selection of Amarone wine casks, sourced from an artisan producer in the Veneto region in Italy. Amarone is a dry red wine that’s high in alcohol and features plenty of dark fruit flavors. Bottled at 100 proof, Arran Amarone Cask Finish has a pink hue due to the red wine ageing and a rich, chocolaty character with flavors of cherry, Turkish delight and dark chocolate. This is an intriguing combination of a complex Scottish Single Malt and a luxurious Italian wine.

About Arran
Arran Distillers is a whisky producer from Scotland’s Isle of Arran, which was founded in 1994 by Harold Currie, a former managing director at Chivas, and two associates. A year later, the company’s first distillery opened in the island’s northernmost village of Lochranza, which was selected for the high quality of its water. This marked the return of whisky making to the island, which at various times in the early 1800s had over 50 illicit distilleries making superlative spirit. The island’s only licensed distillery then was in Lagg, operating from 1825 to 1837. The Arran distillery’s Visitor Centre was opened on 9th August 1997 by none other than Her Majesty The Queen, who was presented with two casks for Princes William and Harry on the occasion. These casks are still slumbering peacefully in Warehouse 1. In 1998, the first cask of Arran Single Malt Scotch Whisky was opened after 3 years of maturation by Scottish film star Ewan McGregor. This was the first legal dram on Arran for over 160 years.
About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
