Darkness Moscatel Cask Finish is a 16-year-old single malt whisky bottled at 49.0% ABV and given a finish in Moscatel wine casks. For a new drinker, that usually suggests a richer, fruit-led style layered onto a mature malt base.
Moscatel casks are associated with sweet, grapey and dried-fruit tones, so this whisky is likely to lean toward dessert-like fruit and spice rather than smoke. The age statement also points to a more rounded, developed character than a very young whisky.
