Orkney Distilleries

This sherry butt has achieved the tricky balance of peat and sherry beautifully, aromas of cigar boxes, leather and honey abound.  The palate delivers a near perfect Orcadian whisky balancing dried figs, dates and prunes with peat smoke and complex floral notes. This superlative whisky finishes with clove rock and more rich fruits.

The nose suggests a perfect balance of Orcadian peat smoke and delicate vanilla from its maturation in American oak. Honey notes offer further promise. The palate is pleasingly complex offering more honey, citrus fruit, and a soft wood spice with peat. A long and lingering finish shows wood spice and a resurgence of peat.
