Darkness Aultmore 16 Year Oloroso

This item is archived.

Only 24 of 96 bottles of this 500ml whisky are coming to Canada, exclusively to KWM. Bottled at 53.9% by Master of Malt under their new "Darkness" label, this 16 year old Aultmore was finished for 3 months in a custom 50L Oloroso sherry cask.

Darkness is a new range of whiskies from Master of Malt. The company had Speyside cooperage build them custom 50L Octave casks from Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The whiskies were only finished in them for 3 months, but given the reduced ratio of surface area to whisky, the results were stunning. KWM has brought in a limited release of these whiskies a Canadian exclusive, and they are not expected to last long. These whiskies sold out a long time ago in the UK, it’s taken a while to get our share of the bottles here! The Aultmore was matured 16 years before finishing in a 50L Oloroso sherry cask. 53.7%

Master of Malt Tasting Note

Nose:Cherries, baked apples and freshly baked bread. Milka chocolate bars develop.

Palate: Oooh, it's like we've broken into the tuck shop and come out with bags full of chewy toffees and chocolate covered raisins. There's a subtle hint of red chilli during the mid-palate too.

Finish: Long with boiled sweets, blackcurrants and a little oak.."
