Balmenach 9 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish Darkness 50cl, 56.6%

Description

Balmenach 9 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish Darkness 50cl 56.6% is a bold Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Darkness, part of Atom Brands. Known for their signature small octave cask finishing, Darkness whiskies deliver intense flavour and richness.

Distilled at the historic Balmenach Distillery in Speyside, this whisky was matured for 9 years before receiving a finishing period in Oloroso sherry octave casks. These smaller casks increase the contact between the whisky and the wood, intensifying the sherry influence and adding deep layers of flavour.

The finishing process creates a rich and powerful whisky with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and warm spice, balanced by Balmenach’s robust malt character.

Bottled at a natural strength of 56.6% ABV, and presented with natural colour and without chill filtration, this expression delivers a full-bodied and flavour-packed whisky experience.
