Dark Bargain 10 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Dark Bargain 10 Year Old
A cracking though cryptic whisky, Dark Bargain is a peaty 10 year old single malt from an undisclosed Islay, boasting a dark hue and a mysterious figure upon the label. What distillery did it come from? Did the person on the label strike a deal with the ground for the peat, with the promise of smoky whisky being the price? What business could they have with the plume of smoke rising before them? Is that actually the smoke monster from LOST?! There are many of questions to be asked about this one, but we feel like the answers might not be found quite so readily. At least there's some smashing smoky whisky to sip while contemplating these secrets...
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Heavy smoke with a helping of iodine underneath, plus some sherried notes tucked away.
Palate
Continued savoury notes of sea salt, charred oak and salted peanuts, while hints of chocolatey malt and caramel wafers offer sweetness.
Finish
Strong coffee, black pepper and earthy peat slowly fade.
