Tasting Notes
A captivating single malt whisky, this 22-year-old expression from an undisclosed Orkney distillery beckons with an alluring aroma. Hints of honey mingle with waxy peels and a subtle nuttiness reminiscent of peanut shells, while wafts of woody smoke tantalize the senses. On the palate, a delightful fusion of flavors unfolds, with vanilla latte notes harmonizing with dried fruit undertones and a savory touch of sea salt, complemented by the lingering presence of smoky heather. The finish is a delightful dance of espresso beans, fudge laced with raisins, and a delicate raspberry note, leaving a lasting impression. Meticulously aged in bourbon casks and finished in a Palo Cortado sherry cask, this rare bottling from Crabbie offers a remarkable journey of flavors, inviting whisky enthusiasts to embark on a sensory exploration where the mystery of its origins only adds to the allure.
