Tasting Notes

An enticing blend of robustness and elegance, this Craigellachie 10 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish captivates the senses with its harmonious symphony of flavors. The nose tantalizes with notes of roasted malt, poached pear, and burnt sugar, complemented by leathery oak and peppery spice lingering in the background. On the palate, a delightful dance of sweet, sherried fruits and Madeira cake unfolds, accompanied by dried apricot, sultanas, and a warming crystallized ginger presence. The bold oak char and meaty, spicy malt lend depth and complexity. The finish is a brilliant balance of sweetness and spice, with rich fruit cake, peppery barley, and delicate oak notes lingering pleasantly. This whisky's sojourn in Oloroso sherry casks has imbued it with a robust yet refined character, making it a standout addition to the Darkness range of independently bottled whiskies.
