This six-year-old limited edition bottling is drawn from three hand-selected casks (19/1534, 19/1535, and 19/1536). Each cask underwent a double maturation: initially filled with unpeated double distilled new make spirit on the 14th of May 2019 before being transferred into Italian Amarone wine barriques on the 4th of June 2024. The whisky then matured for a further 1 year and 9 months, before being bottled on the 16th of March 2026.
Initial maturation: 5 years
Finishing period: 1 year, 9 months
What is Amarone Wine?
Amarone della Valpolicella, more commonly known as Amarone, is a premium dry red wine produced in the Valpolicella region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy, to the north of Verona. In Italian, Amarone means ‘Great Bitter’, a name given to distinguish it from Recioto wine which is produced in the same region, uses the same grape varieties, and uses similar production methods, but is typically sweeter.
