This single malt joins the Darkness range of intensely sherried whiskies, having matured for nine years, including a finish in a single oloroso sherry octave cask. The smaller casks that Darkness uses allow more interaction between the wood and the whisky, so you can expect mouthcoating layers of sweet, nutty spice here.

Baker’s 7 Year Single Barrel Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 75CL, 53.5%
Baker’s Bourbon is a small batch, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey distilled and selected in the traditions of Baker Beam, grandnephew of the legendary Jim Beam. Today, Baker’s is still made using this very technique and is aged only in the most select rackhouses for a robust bourbon flavor with a silky, smooth finish. Carefully matured for exceptional quality, Baker’s Bourbon is distilled at a lower proof, then barreled and aged in small batches to allow the bourbon to extract more toasted nut, fruit, and vanilla flavor from the barrel wood. With an aroma of fruit, vanilla, and caramel and a finish that’s sweet, smooth, and medium-long, enjoy Baker’s neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan, an old fashioned, or in other bourbon-based cocktails.

After an initial 11 years in a refill bourbon barrel, the whisky was re-racked in a fresh first-fill bourbon barrel to bathe for its final years, ensuring that the biscuity malt shines alongside layers of zesty citrus and chalky grist.
Batch 18 is a release of 418 bottles.
Aultmore 12 Year Old (70cl, 46%)

Aultmore 10 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish Darkness (50cl, 53.8%)
We do love a well sherried Aultmore, and this one makes an excellent addition to the collection from indie bottler Darkness! Matured for 10 years, the whisky was finished in a custom-made octave cask that previously held oloroso sherry. It’s a hugely characterful sipper, brimming with oily nuts, dried fruit, roasted coffee, and biscuity malt.
Auchroisk 7 Year Old 2010 Parkmore Selection (70cl, 46%)

A 21 year old single malt, triple distilled and aged in second fill sherry casks, though nothing is lost to the power of the sherry. This bottling stands as the flagship for the core Auchentoshan range.

We could spend all day talking about how much we love our Auchentoshan 21 Year Old, but don’t take our word for it…
“Bright copper. Elegant and smooth. Soft green fruit with mint, oak and freshly cut barley. Sweet chocolate and mint with oak and honey. Long, soft and warm. My top choice as the quintessential Lowland Single Malt; it doesn’t get better.”
