Description
Whisky Advocate 91 points – This is one of four new additions to the portfolio in 2018, and is the pick of the bunch. It is a ‘marrying-strength’ variant of the 18 year old, relaunched in 2017. Treacle tart, sweet woodsmoke, and milky coffee on the robust nose. The palate is voluptuous, with tangy orange, malt, and more woodsmoke. Milk chocolate and smoky Jaffa oranges in the finish.

The whisky’s distinctive smoky note comes from burning Orkney’s woodless, heathery peat to dry our malted barley. This peat is cut by hand only 7 miles from the distillery on our wind-battered Hobbister Moor Predominantly driven by first-fill European oak Sherry casks, providing darker natural color and a mature fruity yet smoky character Over 18 years, the cool Northern climate of Orkney causes our whisky to age slowly and evenly, providing balanced maturation and depth of flavor
