Glenlivet Darkness - Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 28 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with mahogany notes and coppery highlights.

Nose

Opulent, dark-fruited bouquet of prune, fig and raisin, folded with toffee and cacao nib. Velvet leather, roasted almond and espresso mingle with toasted oak. Subtle orange zest and baking spices—cinnamon and clove—lift the sherry sweetness. Rich, candle-lit aromas invite a slow, contemplative swirl.

Palate

Velvety, full-bodied with Oloroso-driven richness. Prune, fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and toasted almond. Spices—clove, cinnamon and a whisper of nutmeg—settle over orange zest and espresso, yielding a supple, syrupy texture. Oak-derived warmth and sherry linger into a long, cacao-and-dried-fruit finish.

Finish

Long, velvety and sherried, this finish glides through dark fruit compote—prune, fig and raisin—kissed by orange zest, cocoa and toasted oak, with a warm, elegant spice that lingers into a chocolatey fade.
