First Editions 2006 Orkney Cask Strength
Regular price $205.00
A somewhat mysterious indie bottling here from Hunter Laing's First Editions range. It was produced by an Orkney distillery – but that distillery remains a mystery! There aren't many whisky distilleries on Orkney, mind, so that sort of narrows it down a fair bit. Anyway, it was distilled in 2006 and left to age in a refill hogshead for 15 years, before being bottled up in 2021. Only 309 bottles were produced.
Nose: Salted chocolate caramel, raw cookie dough, summer herb bundle.
Palate: Maintains 70% dark chocolate taste and sea salt remaining predominant.
Finish: Hot and spicy at first but relaxes to a buttery finish.
