Darkness! Glenrothes 26YO Bottling Note
Having spent 26 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, the Darkness! team didn't hesitate to move this whisky into a single rebuilt 50 litre Oloroso cask for the final months of its maturation. It's what they do. The result is that over a short space of time, first fill Sherry character and complexity have been added to a fine Glenrothes that provided the perfect malty base.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Grapefruit, satsuma, pineapple. Sweet walnuts too, with raspberry coulis, malt wine, monkey nuts and chocolate glazed doughnuts. Chocolate malt (i.e. heavily roasted malt) and espresso develop.
Palate: Choco Leibniz, green apple, dark clove spice, juicy malt and golden honey. Pineapple fritters on the tail.
Finish: More pineapple chunks, Sherried spice and melted milk chocolate.
Overall: Malty whisky and Oloroso are a match made in heaven, with plenty of vibrant, often tropical, fruit and spice.
