The folks at Darkness know their stuff when it comes to sherry cask finishing, ensuring its whiskies have reached the peak of perfection before cracking open their diddy little octave casks to bottle them up. The smaller casks ensure more contact between spirit and wood, which means more sherry influence for this blended malt Scotch from the Campbeltown region, which finished its eight-year maturation in an oloroso sherry octave.
