Craigellachie 12 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness)
This single malt from Craigellachie matured for a dozen years, including a finish in an oloroso sherry cask. Not just any cask mind, this was a custom-made octave cask from the folks at Darkness! The smaller cask size ensures greater interaction between the whisky and the wood, meaning plenty of oloroso sherry influence here.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet notes of dark chocolate and peppermint, raisins, and dates, with a touch of butterscotch in tow.
Palate
Treacle toffee supports rich layers of juicy barley, with stewed apple and thick, runny caramel.
Finish
Ginger loaf, drizzled with treacle, more cooked orchard fruit, burnt sugar, and cacao.
