📝 Tasting Notes
Distinctive aromatics of heather honey and aromatic peat smoke intertwine with sun-ripened citrus and delicate heather blossoms. Undertones of toasted malt, light vanilla, and gentle maritime influence add complexity.
Beautifully balanced palate showing sweet honey, malted barley, and orchard fruits with a subtle smoky backbone. Notes of orange zest, clove, and nutmeg provide spice while maintaining the signature Orkney character.
Medium finish with lingering gentle smoke, honeyed sweetness, and a whisper of salt and spice.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
