Glasgow 1770 Amarone Cask Batch 1
The Tasting Notes
The nose is fresh and fragrant, with ripe strawberries and juicy cherries, complemented by soft toffee sweetness beneath.
On the palate, smooth and indulgent, unfolding with creamy vanilla, rich cherry and strawberry notes, layered with a nostalgic sweetness reminiscent of soft jellies and confectionery.
A gently lingering and well-balanced finish, with notes of ripe strawberry and vanilla cream give way to a dark chocolate and subtle earthy spice, adding depth and warmth.
Details
Glasgow 1770 Amarone Cask Batch 1 is a limited release single malt Scotch whisky from The Glasgow Distillery, matured in casks that previously held Amarone della Valpolicella.
Amarone is a premium dry red wine from the Valpolicella region of Veneto in north-eastern Italy. Produced using local grape varieties including Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, it is defined by the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are partially dried after harvest to concentrate flavour before fermentation and ageing.
These wine casks are increasingly used in whisky maturation, as the seasoned oak brings additional depth and character to the spirit. In this release, the influence of Amarone casks highlights the interaction between Italian wine and Scotch whisky, creating a distinctive small batch bottling from Glasgow 1770.
