Rose Valley Cask No. 15: Italian Amarone Depth Meets Saxon Craftsmanship

Feinbrandmanufaktur 2021 50 cl Cask No. 15 from Feinbrandmanufaktur Brabant represents a unique addition to the Rose Valley Single Malt Whisky range. This limited single cask whisky matured entirely since 2021 in a first-fill Amarone wine cask sourced from Valpolicella, Italy. The release stands out by bridging Mediterranean wine richness with the distinct traditions of Saxon distillation, offering a velvety, full-bodied experience forged by both terroirs.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This whisky showcases full maturation solely in an Amarone wine cask, rather than a finish, allowing the intense fruitiness and spice of the Amarone to permeate deeply. Amarone wines, produced by drying grapes before fermentation (appassimento method), impart concentrated, complex aromas. Over more than 4.5 years, the whisky developed warmth, ripe dark fruits, and fine wood spices, reflecting its Italian cask heritage alongside German craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe dark fruits, raisins, with hints of cherry, elegant wood tones, fine spice, and subtle sweetness
• Palate: Velvety and full-bodied, enriched by red berries, dark chocolate, and gentle Amarone tannins, balanced with lingering fruit and warm spices
• Finish: Long and warm, featuring lingering fruit, fine oak, and an elegant aftertaste
