Whisky #54: The Arran Cask Finishes Amarone Cask Finish Single Malt
by 
The Arran Cask Finishes Amarone Cask Finish Single Malt. Isle of Arran, Scotland. ABV: 50.00%. Tasted at Helvetica, $23.
Colour: A deep sherry-like colour.
Nose: Chocolatey scents. Also smells like a bunch of dried muscatelles.
Palate: Much more complex than the Sullivan’s Cove Double Wood. Bit more heat and plenty of spice; juicy.
Finish: Long tingle at the front of the tongue, warmth through the back.
Comments: I would like more time to chew on this one some more. Definitely the kind of whisky that takes more than one dram to fully appreciate. Will be back for more in the not too distant future!
