A real dark horse in the whisky world, the successful Darkness limited edition range by Atom Brands is back with an exceptional addition. This Benrinnes 14 Year Old from the esteemed Speyside region was meticulously finished for at least six months in a rare PX sherry octave cask. Such a unique finishing cask has imparted a remarkable depth of character to this whisky. Bottled at a formidable 55% ABV and free from chill filtration, it maintains the purity of its flavor profile. True to the ethos of the Darkness range, no artificial coloration is added, ensuring the whisky's color reflects its natural state. The true "darkness" shines through in its intensely sherried taste, not its hue.
On the nose, one finds an inviting blend of milk chocolate, raspberries, and bouillon savory notes, with underlying hints of cinnamon, vanilla, peat, and tropical fruit. The palate is a harmonious marriage of spicy sherry notes, rich chocolate, and deep oak, complemented by sticky, dried fruits. The finish is long, lingering, and complex, leaving a lasting impression of cocoa, spice, and quintessential sherried character.
