Glen Garioch 18 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness)

Product Description

Glen Garioch 18 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Glen Garioch Distillery, located in the town of Oldmeldrum in Scotland. The whisky was aged for 18 years and underwent a secondary maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. The term "Oloroso" refers to a type of sherry that is darker and more robust in flavor compared to other sherries, and the addition of Oloroso sherry cask maturation is a common way to impart rich, sweet, and nutty flavors to whisky. The "Darkness" designation is likely a marketing reference to the dark, rich character imparted by the Oloroso sherry casks. The Glen Garioch Distillery has a long history of producing traditional, full-bodied Highland single malt whiskies, and this 18 Year Old expression is likely no exception, with a complex flavor profile balancing the fruity, sweet notes imparted by the sherry with the earthy, peaty character of the whisky.
