Dufftown 11 y.o. Oloroso Cask - Darkness! 58.5%
Special features: The Dufftown 11 Year Oloroso Cask - Darkness! with 58.5% was distilled at the renowned Dufftown Distillery. After aging for 11 years, it underwent finishing in small Oloroso sherry octave casks. This method promotes intense sherry notes and gives the whisky a natural dark color. The bottling is not chill-filtered and is available in a gift packaging.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose reveals a fragrant grain porridge with hot raspberries, raisins, and dates. Cherry syrup, malt candies, oak, and roasted walnuts round off the enjoyment.
Palate: The palate presents itself dry and balanced with burnt almonds, chocolate-covered hazelnuts, and roasted coffee. Sweet malt, dried fruits, and ripe cherries harmonize with cinnamon rolls and cloves.
Finish: The finish lingers with long roasted nuts and dried fruits.
Distillery/Bottler: The brand Darkness is an independent bottler known for its 'Darkness' series. These whiskies mature after distillation in specially crafted Oloroso octave casks, which hold only one-eighth of a standard sherry butt. The Dufftown 11 Year Oloroso Cask was finished in these special casks, offering profound sherry notes.
