- Description
- Dailuaine's 5 Year Old from the Darkness range finished in Pedro Ximénez octave casks, where closer wood interaction intensified the whisky's deep ruby colour and ripe red fruit character. Smoky undertones balance the sweetness, creating bold, well-integrated flavour in a surprisingly mature spirit.
