Cask Orkney 18 Year Old (A.D. Rattray)
A. D. Rattray
Tasting Notes
Imagine a warm summer evening by the seaside, with the gentle salty breeze carrying the aroma of freshly baked treats from a nearby bakery. That's the first impression this 18-year-old Orkney gem leaves as you uncork the bottle. The alluring nose is a delightful blend of beeswax, salted caramel, and buttery flapjacks, hinting at the delicious indulgence to come. On the palate, the baked goods and caramel notes linger, complemented by a refreshing touch of sea spray and zesty citrus, evoking a perfect harmony between land and sea. As the dram lingers, whispers of seasoned oak and rich walnut linger, a testament to its age and careful maturation in ex-bourbon casks. Bottled at a robust 46% ABV, without chill-filtration or added colors, this whisky offers an authentic and unadulterated taste of Orkney's finest.
