I was fortunate enough in January to win a bottle of The Darkest in a gift basket at a scotch tasting event (along with a aberlour abundh, and a GlenScotia 18). My first dram of The Darkest, for whatever reason I didn't care for it at all. I put it away for a while and circled back to it a few weeks later and since then it has become one of my absolute favourites.
I think perhaps the sherry finish mixed with a peaty scotch took my palate a few tries to get used to. Highly recommend this bottle but for anyone looking to take any of us up on this recommendation, give it a chance if you don't take to it right away
