Darkness Dufftown 11 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish 58.7% ABV

Darkness Dufftown 11 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish is an independent bottling of Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from Dufftown, released in the Darkness range. Darkness selects bold single malts and gives them a final maturation of around three months in small, hand-coopered octave casks seasoned with sherry; this 11-year-old Dufftown was finished in an Oloroso-seasoned octave. This batch is bottled at 58.7% ABV in a 500ml bottle, delivering a concentrated, spicy sherry profile over the distillery's malty Speyside character.
