The Single Malts Of Scotland Orkney - Single Malts Of Scotland - Reserve Cask - Parcel #1 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2006 Vintage
Out of stock
A 'mystery' Orkney distillery has been bottled by Elixir distillers as part of the new range of Reserve Cask Single Malts of Scotland bottlings. Produced from a hand selected number of casks (between 4-6) and bottled at 48% ABV. This is a very fresh and citrusy whisky on the nose, with earthiness and minerality and a sublte ash. The palate is fresh, oily, sweet and smokey while the finish is long, sweet, heathery and smokey. Likely to be the most northerly of the Orkney distilleries, this is a classically lighter and fresher whisky that shows off the underlying character of this distillery.
