Tasting Notes
This Campbeltown 5 Year Old Moscatel Finish whisky is a true gem, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Darkness range. With its distinctive salinity, reminiscent of salted crackers and earthy oak, it pays homage to the region's maritime heritage. Yet, it surprises with hints of apricot sweetness, creating a delightful balance. On the palate, red berry notes emerge, complemented by a touch of salted peanuts, adding depth and complexity. The finish is a delightful revelation, with notes of rich chocolate mousse and vanilla, lingering pleasantly. This expression underwent a unique finishing period in a Moscatel sherry octave cask, imparting an intense and full-bodied sherry character due to the greater surface area to volume ratio. Truly a cracking Campbeltown blended malt, it epitomizes the art of whisky-making and invites you to savor its intricacies.
