- Description
- Darkness's corn whisky spent eight years maturing before an intense finish in oloroso sherry casks, resulting in a spirit of dark colour and complex richness at 64.1% ABV. The sherry cask injection adds dried fruit, chocolate, and oxidative depth to corn whisky's typically lighter character. A splash of water opens this high-proof expression, making it rewarding for those exploring North American whisky beyond rye and Canadian blends.
