Darkness! Invergordon 23 Year Old Pedro Ximénez & Oloroso Hybrid Cask Finish
This 23 year old Invergordon single grain Scotch whisky has been treated to a finishing period in a specially coopered, 50 litre Pedro Ximénez & Oloroso Hybrid Cask(!), made with staves from Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks - a first for the Darkness range! Ridiculously cool, incredibly well-Sherried whisky is the name of the game here, and this one is an absolute winner.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Initial huge grain custardy creaminess. Yum! Slowly hints of mixed berries and some leafiness are revealed before you’re in the grip of darker notes; spicy muscovado, coffee and just a hint of rancio.
Palate
Thick and juicy. We’ve moved further into the darkness with chilli chocolate, Corinth raisins and molasses.
Finish
Rich dark berries and whole almonds set in dark chocolate, with red berries and caramel sweetness from the grain offering balance.
