At the core of this Darkness expression is an eight year old single malt Scotch whisky which has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels. Following that, the whisky is moved over to custom-made Oloroso sherry octave casks for at least three months. It's also non-chill filtered, and bottled without any additional colouring.
Small casks make for a vastly increased surface area to volume ratio compared to the much larger sherry butts, leading to more cask influence and more of those intense sherried notes we've all come to know and love.
Darkness 8 Year Old is a continuous release from the range that was previously built around very limited edition bottlings, though the name of the game hasn't changed - big ol' helpings of sherried deliciousness await you!
You can enjoy this beauty neat or in a variety of serves. Here's the brand's recipe for a tasty Highball called Lasting Darkness:
Lasting Darkness
50ml Darkness 8 Year Old
100ml Soda
Slice of grapefruit
Add ice to a highball glass, and pour in 50ml Darkness 8 Year Old. Top and lengthen with soda, and garnish with fresh grapefruit.
Nose: Candied orange peels, chocolate peanuts, cooking spice warmth and some dried cherry.
Palate: Amaretti biscuits, subtly toasty hints, powerful raisin and prune, just a touch of earthy oak lingers.
Finish: Slightly oily with a hint of smoke, though chocolatey hints persist.

Like to try different whiskies, reviews were promising but this whisky is decidedly average and the plastic came away from cork on first opening.

I love a sherried malt, but I couldn't get behind this one.

New to the whisky scene, mostly going for Speyside or Highland whisky. This bottle though. Just stunning. Especially for an 8 year old! The finish is fairly spicy but not too much, even for a beginner. Great price too, worth it!

Absolutely love this! I have a range of whisky - Isle of Islay predominantly, though often I find Scotch Speyside too harsh.For anyone who loves their bourbon, this Darkness would take pride on a warm Kentucky evening! Complex, hints of smoke but melting orange chocolate to finish!

Easy drinking and so so juicy.

Warm, rich, fruity, woody. Think cold, snowy winter's day in front of log fire. Spicy but doesn't burn. Love it!!

Very light nose, almost imperceptible orange peel and peanuts. Sherry, wine and raisins strongly feature in a powerful and intense yet balanced taste. The drink lingers in a finish that's difficult to describe, notes of spice and smoke. A strong yet pleasant and interesting pour. A must for sherry cask lovers, recommended and worth the price point.
