Subtlety, poise and elegance have no place here. Welcome to a new level of intensity and depth. Welcome to Darkness! Every bottling in the Darkness range has been finished at least three months in specially-coopered sherry octave casks. These little rascals are much smaller than your standard butt cask, which makes for a hugely increased surface area to volume ratio, yielding maximum richness and depth.
A single malt from Speyside matured for 8 years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished for at least 6 months in hand-coopered Oloroso sherry cask octaves. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 47.8%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose:
Toasty and appetising. Fruity, nutty, with a gentle beguiling sweetness.
Palate:
Toffee sweetness, candied almonds, dried fruits and a lingering savoury sensation.
Finish:
Toasty, lightly smoky and a sweetness that lasts.
Awards:
Gold Scotch Single Malt - Speyside - 2022 International Wine & Spirit Competition
