Darkness! Ben Nevis 17 YO Bottling Note
The Darkness! strikes again, but this time, it's armed with something a little bit different and rather exciting indeed. This 17 year old Ben Nevis single malt Scotch whisky is the first to be finished for 3 months in a specially built 50-litre cask which previous held Palo Cortado Sherry! Palo Cortado is a bit of an enigma, beginning life ageing as a fino or amontillado Sherry under flor, but it inexplicably starts ageing oxidatively like an oloroso Sherry. The result is a Sherry that has qualities of both oloroso and amontillado, and consequently, a very interesting Darkness! bottling.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Waxy, grassy malt and strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Red rope liquorice and a hint of mint develop with a core of caramel and malt loaf.
Palate: Grainy, rich malt with more fruit developing - fruit salad with some leather on the tail.
Finish: Walnut and date cake gives way to crisp green apple.
Finish: A return to the nose in some ways, with oak, some farmy funk and sweeter prunes re-emerging.
