Tomatin Italian Collection Amarone
12 years old, 70cl, 46% abv
The Italian Collection from Tomatin consists of three releases finished in Italian wine casks.
This release was distilled in 2010 and aged for ten years in ex-bourbon casks followed by a finishing period in barrels that formerly held Amarone.
Amarone is made in the Valpolicella region around Venice in Northern Italy.
The grapes used, mainly corvina, corvinone, rondinella, are harvested very ripe and then dried in wooden racks so that they shrivel and raisin which concentrates the sugars - not dissimilar to how PX sherry is made, except Amarone is fermented out, in a process that takes months, so that no sugar remains.
Nose:
Crisp orchard fruit, orange peel, marzipan and dried fruit.
Palate:
Sweet, accented with red cherries, winter spices and toffee
Finish:
Caramel sweetness, with lingering baking spice
