This single malt Scotch whisky, named Darkness, is an exceptional creation from the Master of Malt brand. At 8 years old, it boasts a bold, fruity flavor profile with a distinctive sherry finish. Initially matured in bourbon barrels, it was later transferred to oloroso sherry octaves, leading to a rich and complex flavor profile. The smaller capacity of sherry octaves, about 60 liters, allows for a greater influence of the wood on the whisky, resulting in intense notes of black fruits, leather, toasted coffee, nuts, and spices.
The nose reveals a toasty, fruity, and nutty character with notes of toffee, candied almonds, dried fruits, and amaretti biscuits. On the palate, it offers a delightful toffee sweetness, accompanied by flavors of chocolate, dried fruits, and a hint of smoke. The long-lasting finish is characterized by a chocolatey sweetness and a touch of smoke, complemented by hints of sherry, coconut, orechi, pomegranate, and cinnamon.
Overall, this whisky is a fine example of a Scottish single malt with a touch of Andalusian character, making it a complex and remarkable final product.
The MoM Darkness Single Malt Scotch Whisky is unique due to its maturation process. It is initially matured in bourbon barrels and then finished in oloroso sherry octaves, which imparts an intense flavor profile with rich notes of black fruits, leather, toasted coffee, nuts, and spices.
