This Orkney Islands single malt has aged for 21 years in first-fill American oak barrels.

ABV & VOLUME

TASTING NOTES

A single batch whisky, our makers have let the long maturation add depth to the tropical fruits yet maintaining a balance between the distillery style and the influence of the American oak, with a fruity yet complex tropical flavour. Each release is produced once a year, non chill-filtered and released at cask strength.

NOSE
Notes of homemade apricot jam with fresh raspberries drizzled over ripe bananas and whipped cream. Hints of aromatic oak and subtle nutmeg conclude.

PALETTE
Notes of fresh peaches and mangoes wrapped in vanilla cream and condensed milk, with notes of shortbread spiced with cardamon and cinnamon.

FINISH
Sweet and syrupy
