A single cask offering from The Exclusive Malts range that may be from a mystery Orkney Disillery?
As that is colour coded to the “Earthy,light smoke, oily” profile we are guessing that is Highland Park versus Scapa as they don’t make peated whisky.
Aged for 15 years in a single Refill Butt (prone to be Sherry and again more consistent with Highland Park and not Scapa who use more Bourbon Barrels.
Yielding just 695 bottles and bottled at natural cask strength of 56.7% ABV.
Distilled on June 6th 2002.
Nose: Smoked heather, aromatic honey, sultana and tea loaf cake, brown bread, waxy orange, mackeral pate, campher wood smoke.
Palate: Malty honeycomb with earthy aromatic smoke and leather, herbal honey on brown bread and a few spice (cumin & nutmeg)
Finish:Malty bread or ryvita with smoked herb honey butter, heather and nut shells.
A malt for across the campfire, very autumnal, aromatic and earthy from probably the most northern of Scotland’s distilleries.
