Darkness – 08 Years Old (2019) – Oloroso Sherry Octave Finish

This Darkness 8 Years demonstrates just how powerful an Oloroso Sherry Octave Finish can be. The smaller octave casks allow the whisky to have much more contact with the wood, allowing it to develop a remarkably deep, sweet, and full sherry profile in a short time.

On the nose you will find dark raisins, caramel, cocoa and a hint of orange peel.
The taste is rich and powerful: thick sherry notes, brown sugar, nuts and warm spices.
The finish is medium-long and sticky sweet, with a hint of dark chocolate.

An ideal choice for lovers of affordable, sherry-driven single malts with plenty of bang for their buck.
