Its not often we get to see Ardbeg as an IB, but when we do, its usually excellent. This bottling was a pleasant surprise for us, bringing not only the characteristic bbq smoke the distillery is known and loved for, but also a wonderful range of tropical fruit flavours.

The Darkness bottlings are a collection of intensely sherried whiskies, with every release undergoing their signature 6 months extra maturation in sherried octave casks. This results in an unparalleled richness and depth of flavour. The Darkness label of independent bottlings is an independent bottler of sherry-finished whiskies from Atom Brands, the company also behind That Boutique-y Whisky Company, Character Of Islay and Drinks By The Dram.
