Tasting Notes

A remarkable whisky hailing from the rugged Orkney Islands, this 11-year-old single malt embodies the essence of Scotland's northernmost distilleries. Aged in a trio of oloroso sherry butts, it has developed a rich and complex character that captivates the senses. The deep amber hue hints at the sherry influence, promising notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and a subtle nuttiness. On the palate, it unveils layers of flavors – raisins, candied orange peel, and a touch of dark chocolate, all harmoniously intertwined. The finish lingers with a delightful warmth and a hint of maritime saltiness, reminiscent of the island's coastal landscapes. This limited edition bottling from The Single Malts of Scotland's Reserve Casks collection is a true testament to Orkney's whisky-making heritage, offering a unique and memorable experience for discerning drinkers.
