The nose opens with a playful note of milk bottle sweets atop apple compote. A touch of citrus provides a refreshing counterpoint before transitioning to a palate which reveals a saline, maritime essence. Warming wood spices begin to emerge, as the finish unveils a gentle touch of Orcadian peat.
Orkney, an archipelago off the coast of the Scottish Highlands, boasts some of Scotland's most stunning scenery and diverse wildlife, ancient Neolithic sites and exceptional whisky. This single malt is renowned for its invigorating notes of sea air. While the distillery remains unnamed, we believe that a touch of mystery only enhances its allure, especially when the whisky is as exceptional as this.
