About the Darkness Range
"Darkness is a range of intensely sherried whiskies from hand-coopered octave casks. Every expression begins as a carefully selected single malt, chosen for its bold character, before undertaking Darkness’ signature maturation period of 3 months in handcrafted sherried octave casks. Inside these tiny vessels, the whisky quietly transforms. Uncovering intensity and revealing maximum flavour, richness and natural colour."

That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
