Darkness x Carwyn Cellars 'Port Charlotte 13 YO Oloroso Cask' 500ml
CARWYN CELLARS EXCLUSIVE RELEASE
A rare release from some of the biggest names in whisky popped up and we managed to secure the entire cask! We’re beyond excited to share this Darkness Port Charlotte 13 YO Oloroso Cask release with you.
Starting its journey distilled at Bruichladdich, this bottle is a marriage of wine casks (Domaine Leroy and Chateau d'Yquem) and a bourbon barrel. Finished in an Oloroso octave (50 litre barrel) for 11 months and finally bottled at just above what’s affectionately known as ‘Golden Strength’ / 50.1% abv, we present this beautiful release.
But most importantly, how does it taste?
“Grainy in nose with lashes of red apple and dark caramel with notes of tobacco. It has an intense woody character coming from the octave it rested in and light smokiness. Sitting at a beautiful Golden Strength, the flavour delivers vanilla, light cacao fruit, dry orange skin and a spicy finish with a nice herbal character lingering. Delightful and complex, a showcase of what a smaller sherry vessel can do to a wonderful whisky.” -Tito Orellana, Carwyn Cellars
