Description
The Darkness! 8 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Sherry Casks is an intense and complex whisky which, with an alcohol content of 47.8% vol. and its deep sherry cask maturation, is a real highlight for lovers of strong and aromatic malts. This bottling was specially developed for fans of sherry-based whiskies and impresses with an exceptionally deep and multi-layered taste profile.
This 8-year-old single malt is first matured in traditional ex-bourbon casks before being given its characteristic finish in particularly small Oloroso sherry octave casks. These special casks ensure a more intensive absorption of aromas and give the whisky its distinctive, dark and fruity depth. The result is a powerful, spicy and multi-layered Scotch that impresses with notes of dark fruit, chocolate and strong oak.
The Darkness! 8 Years Old is bottled without chill-filtration and in its natural coloring to preserve the full character of the whisky. It is supplied in an elegant gift box (GB), which also makes it an ideal stylish gift for whisky connoisseurs.
This whisky is a must for lovers of sherried malts and impresses with its intensive cask maturation, exceptional depth and warming aroma - a real masterpiece for connoisseurs! (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Dark copper with reddish reflections.
Nose: Deep aromas of raisins, dates and dried figs, accompanied by dark chocolate, spicy oak and a hint of espresso.
Taste: Full-bodied and intense with dominant notes of sherry, candied nuts, orange peel and a hint of caramel and nutmeg. A fine sweetness is combined with spicy oak notes.
Finish: Long and warming with dark fruit, fine spices and a gentle hint of smoke and nuttiness.
The Darkness! 8 Years Old should ideally be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to bring out its complex aromas in the best possible way. It goes perfectly with dark chocolate, mature blue cheese or nutty desserts, which complement its sherry notes wonderfully. If you want to use it in a whisky cocktail, you can use it in a Rob Roy or a Sherry Cask Manhattan to emphasize its fruity, spicy depth. (automated translation)
