This Strathisla 15 Year Old Darkness, bottled by Atom Brands, takes the rich characteristics of the Keith distillery and harmonises them with an intensely sherried character, synonymous with the Speyside region. This 15-year-old expression has enjoyed a six-month-long finishing period in Moscatel sherry octave casks, which small casks lend the whisky a generous helping of sherried, fruity notes. With an ABV of 54.2% and packaged in a 500ml bottle, this whisky offers a bold and nuanced flavor profile.
On the nose, this whisky is a maze of dried tobacco, Lindt chocolate, and rich aromatic oakiness, interwoven with spice notes like cinnamon, pepper, and koreni, alongside fruity aromas and sherry hints. On the palate, it delivers rich and complex flavors of chocolate, malt, tobacco, caramel, and ovocie, with a delightful touch of sweet demerara sugar and freshly picked herbs. The finish is rich and sweet with a little kick of spice, featuring dub, caramel, and spice that linger on the palate along with hints of oak and sherry.
