- Description
- This Speyside malt spent 17 years maturing before finishing in a Pedro Ximénez sherry octave cask, where the small vessel's high wood-to-spirit ratio imparts intense richness. Darkness's specially-coopered quarters extract maximum sherry complexity, making this a heavily-sherried expression with considerable depth.
