Undisclosed Orkney Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a bronzed, sunlit glow.

Nose

Opulent, sherried fruit notes lead the way—ripe fig and raisin entwined with orange zest and a whisper of treacle. Rich cocoa, toasted almond, and hints of vanilla mingle with warm spices (allspice, clove) as sea-salt and briny air brush the edges. A polished oak backbone and subtle alcohol lift the aroma into a refined, lingering finish.

Palate

Luxuriously rich and full-bodied, the palate unfolds sherry-dark sweetness—figs, raisins and plum—alongside cocoa, toffee and toasted oak. Spice notes of cinnamon and clove mingle with a maritime kiss and a whisper of smoke, giving depth and balance. The finish is long, warm, and refined, with a bright citrus edge lingering on the palate.

Finish

Long, refined finish of sherry sweetness, where fig and raisin meet dark cocoa atop toasted oak. A hint of orange marmalade brightens the end, while a subtle sea-salt note and quiet spice drift away on the palate.
