Single Malt
Scotland
Sherry
A particularly fantastic release from the Darkness indie bottling range - it's a 14 year old single malt distilled by Ardbeg, finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry octave cask! Because they're smaller than your run-of-the-mill cask, these octave casks offer a greater surface area to volume ratio, and they impart oodles of sherried notes, which work very well with Ardbeg's characteristic salinity and smokiness.
Enjoyably earthy, with waves of coffee and juicy red apple sweetness.
Bonfire embers, honey roasted nuts, redcurrants, Seville orange and meaty malt.
Hints of charred oak remain up front on the finish.
