Orkney 'BBR' 2006 / 2023 #5051 57.1%

Hailing from an undisclosed distillery from Scotland's far Northern Orkney Islands. This punchy Oloroso cask matured Orchadian starts off with a huff and puff of coastal turfy peat smoke, much more than one would expect from this distillery. wafts of heather, leather and hot coals emerge on the nose. The palate showcases the sherry wood influence wonderfully, with rich boozy fruits and soft sweet spice balancing perfectly with the thick coal smoke and lighter notes of sticky honey and burned lime. the sooty peat continues on through the finish, combined with waves of sherried fruit and honey.
