Only 36 of 95 bottles of this 500ml whisky are coming to Canada, exclusively to KWM. Bottled at 52.7% by Master of Malt under their new "Darkness" label, this 16 year old Tomintoule 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. 52.7%.
