- Description
- Darkness! assembled this blended malt from multiple Scottish sources and aged it for 20 years before introducing a finishing period in a 50-litre Moscatel cask. The choice of Moscatel—lighter and more delicate than traditional oloroso—adds layers of honey, candied fruit, and subtle floral notes without overwhelming the base whisky. Limited to just 100 bottles, this is a rare opportunity to experience an experimental approach to whisky finishing. A collector's bottle for those intrigued by unconventional cask choices.
