Tasting Notes
Colour
Naturally golden, sunlit honey-gold with warm amber highlights.
Nose
Warm honey sweetness sits at the core, brightened by lemongrass and citrus zest. Subtle vanilla and toasted oak lend creaminess and depth, while a faint maritime breeze and delicate peat smoke weave through the aroma, finishing with a softly spiced, biscuit-like note.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, this palate layers honeyed richness with bright lemongrass over a silky, oak-braced frame. Gentle spice and a warm, lingering finish reveal its refined 40-year maturity and the Orcadian character in every measured sip.
Finish
Long, elegant finish, honeyed and bright with lemongrass, unfurling into warm spice and soft oak. A delicate citrus lift and vanilla linger as a whisper of gentle peat smoke fades, leaving a polished, comforting glow.
