The nose opens with boiled lemon sweets and an invigorating splash of sea spray. A subtle undercurrent of herbal peat weaves through, leading to a soft and inviting palate with prominent notes of zesty lemon and a gentle drizzle of honey. The finish is elegantly balanced, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and a whisper of smoke.
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.
