A single malt whiskey all the way from Ireland (though we don't know which distillery it came from, mind), which has been independently bottled for the Darkness range. As with the rest of the series, this expression has enjoyed a finishing period in a specially-coopered sherry octave - specifically an Oloroso sherry octave this time - before being bottled up at 57.6% ABV. It's a full-bodied whiskey, offering up oodles of fruit and festive spice notes.
Blackberry, chocolate gateaux, apricot, a hint of Christmas cake, biscuit dough.
More biscuity notes, now with some bourbon biscuits thrown in too. Still got a good kick of cinnamon and ginger to it.
Lingering hints of old sherry richness stick around on the finish.
