Ardbeg 12 Year Old | Darkness
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Darkness 50cl / 48.5%
A 12-year-old Ardbeg from indie bottlers Darkness, who've finished it in a small batch of their hand-coopered Oloroso sherry octaves, with an outturn of just under 250 half-litre (50cl) bottles at 48.5%.
Sherry octave casks impart a great deal of flavour in a short amount of time because of their small size and high surface area to volume ratio, so expect a pimped-up combination of Ardbeg's classic Islay sooty phenols and Oloroso's fruit ' n' nut sherry style.
