Dailuaine Aged 5 Years Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Darkness (500ml)
Volume: 500ml ABV: 55.8% Age: 5 Years Old Country: Scotland
Darkness whisky is a collection of award winning, intensley sherried Scotch whisky. Every whisky in the Darkness range has undertaken a signature maturation of 6 months in a specially hand coopered sherried octave cask. This tiny vessel of only a capacity of 64 litres yields maximum richness and depth plus an alluring 100% natural red amber colour.
The Dailuaine Distillery derives from the Scottish Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’. This distilleries whiskies are rarely seen and sought after when they are available. Owners Diageo use the malt from the distillery in blends, mainly Johnnie Walker. Only the best casks make it out to be independently bottled. Available usually at cask strength as a vintage or aged statement.
Sourced from the Dailuaine distillery and finished in an ex-Pedro Ximenez Sherry octave cask. Boasting notes of red fruits, dark fruits, smoke and sherry. Bottled at 55.8% ABV
