Highland Single Malt 19 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness)
The gang at Darkness hopped up to the Highlands for this smoky single malt and sized it up to be the perfect fit for a finish in one of their little oloroso sherry octaves. Matured for a total of 19 years, the small size of the octave cask used for finishing enabled more interaction between the liquid and the wood, in other words, more sherry and oak influence upon the deliciously peaty single malt.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Oily peat smoke brings suggestions of tarmac and bonfires, while charred cloves and earthy anise are softened by waves of oaken vanilla and Custard Creams.
Palate
Charred oak and rich, biscuity malt lead to cakey spice and drizzles of floral honey, while wood fire and burnt coal smokiness crackle beneath.
Finish
The smoke lingers for the finish, backed by crunchy cloves and fruit-studded tea loaf.
