Darkness, Sherry Cask Finish, 8-Year-Old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (47.8%)

The price of the 70cl bottle, reduced from £51 previously, includes a 10% discount. This offer does not apply to BBX listings.

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 holding around 50 litres each, for at least three months. It's also non-chill filtered, and bottled without any additional colouring.

Small casks make for an increased surface area to volume ratio compared to much larger sherry butts, leading to more cask influence and more of those intense sherried notes such as dried fruits and dark spices.
