Orkney is an archipelago off the North East of the Scottish Highlands. It is home to some of the finest scenery, wildlife, Neolithic sites and whisky that Scotland offers. The unique peat used for malting imbues a heathery, floral character to the whisky which is renowned for rounded and well-balanced style. The nose offers great depth and complexity. A bold mix of heather honey, peat-smoke and berry fruit combine to give a most remarkable balance. The honey notes act as a magic carpet to transpond the peat and fruit as the mouthfeel expands in the most luscious manner. A truely classic example of a distinct and distinguished style. Orkney in aspic!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with warm copper highlights.
Nose
Deep and complex, this nose weaves heathery honey with peat-smoke and bright berry fruits. The honey acts as a magic carpet, lifting the peat and fruit into a luscious, balanced bouquet that hints at Orkney’s floral heath and maritime character.
Palate
Silky and sumptuous on the palate, the honeyed sweetness unfolds first, then layers of peat smoke mingle with blackberry and raspberry fruit. The honey acts as a bridge, carrying peat and fruit into a lush, well-balanced finish with coastal warmth and a refined, lingering spice.
Finish
Long, elegant finish where peat smoke softens into heathery honey and berry fruit. The sweetness lingers, carried by a delicate floral note, fading to a polished coastal warmth with a refined, balanced fade.
