The Epicurean Amarone Wine Cask Finish Whisky
THE EPICUREAN Amarone Wine Cask Finish Whisky is a Lowland blended malt Scotch whisky from Douglas Laing’s The Epicurean range. This Wood Series release is finished in a single Amarone wine cask from Italy’s Valpolicella region after initial maturation in American oak, giving the Lowland malt style a darker fruit, chocolate and spice-led profile.
Douglas Laing states that this limited-edition Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky is first matured in premium American oak, then re-racked into a single hand-selected Amarone cask for a second maturation period of two years. It is bottled at 48% ABV and offered without colouring or chill-filtration.
The exact colour note is not published by the verified sources checked, so the sensory profile is led by aroma, taste and finish. Expect cocoa nibs, cherries and acai berries on the nose, lifted by warm ginger and cinnamon. The palate is sweet and spicy, with red berries and warm oak, before peppery spice builds into an espresso-accented finish.
Serve this whisky neat to explore the Amarone cask influence, or add a small splash of water if you prefer a softer spice profile. Its red berry, chocolate and espresso notes suit after-dinner sipping, casual whisky tastings and buyers looking for a wine-cask-finished Lowland blended malt.
