Strathisla 15 Year Old Moscatel Cask Finish (Darkness)

Cask Types

Tasting Notes

This 15-year-old whisky from Strathisla Distillery is a real treat for the senses. The aroma is dominated by rich chocolate notes, with a hint of cigar box adding depth and complexity. On the palate, it's a delightful blend of salted caramel shortbread, toasty cinnamon, and a subtle herbaceous malt character. The finish is equally impressive, with a touch of black pepper spice, a refreshing spearmint sweetness, and a hint of red apple. The Moscatel sherry cask finish imparts a distinct sherried character, which is a hallmark of the Darkness brand. This expression is a perfect example of how a well-executed cask finish can elevate a whisky to new heights, resulting in a truly indulgent and memorable dram.
