Undisclosed Orkney Claxton's - Single Cask #1836-008A Whisky Miniature 10 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany depth.

Nose

Sherry-cask richness dominates the nose: dark fruits—fig and raisin—paired with cocoa, vanilla, and toasted almond, all wrapped in polished oak. A maritime breeze threads through, carrying a hint of sea salt from Orkney. At 63% ABV, a bright, warming lift accents the aroma, inviting further exploration.

Palate

Velvety and full-bodied, this sherried palate reveals dark fig and raisin over cocoa and toffee. Caramelized orange zest and toasted almond mingle with vanilla, while nutmeg and clove add spice. A warm, coating mouthfeel leads to a long finish of fruit, cocoa and a hint of oak.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish clings with dark fig and raisin from the sherry cask, braided with toasted oak and cocoa. Cinnamon and clove flicker through espresso notes, then fade to a warm, silky sweetness with a subtle maritime echo that lingers.
