2006 Berry Bros. & Rudd Orkney, Coasts & Shores, Cask Ref. 2, Island, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (60.3%)

Orkney, an archipelago off the coast of the Scottish Highlands, boasts some of Scotland's most stunning scenery and diverse wildlife, ancient Neolithic sites and exceptional whisky. This single malt is renowned for its invigorating notes of sea air. While the distillery remainds unnamed, we believe that a touch of mystery only enhances its allure, especially when the whisky is as eceptional as this. 

Tasting Note

This whisky from Scotland's most northerly distillery opens with rich savoury notes, reminiscent of Bresaola with a black peppercorn crust. The palate unfolds to reveal the gentle coastal epat this distillery is renowed for, intertwined with a delicate layers of soft, spicy oak. The finish delivers a faint whisper of rubber and a slight salinity, conjuring images of a fisherman bracing himself against the salt sea air in his waders.
