Darkness Bowmore 17 Year Old Moscatel Cask Finish

Sherry + smoke = a winning combination!

This independent bottling of Bowmore single malt from Darkness is a 17-year-old Islay expression that has been finished in a Moscatel sherry octave cask, allowing for huge sherry-bomb notes, before being bottled at a sturdy 53.6% abv.

Octave casks are smaller than a standard cask, resulting in a greater surface area to volume ratio. This allows for the flavours in the barrel to have maximum influence on the liquid. For Darkness, this is how they hit those big sherry notes in their whiskies!
