Sea of Orkney is a 16-year-old single malt from Highland Park, distilled in Kirkwall on Orkney, bottled at 44.5% in a 70cl bottle. It is chill-filtered and has a natural deep amber colour with no added colouring.
The whisky was assembled from first-fill casks of sherry-seasoned European oak, refill casks and sherry-seasoned American oak. Together they bring fruit, spice and soft vanilla.
The nose offers dried apricots and figs with heather, a little vanilla and finely ground almonds, with a gentle hint of smoke behind. On the palate nutmeg meets vanilla, dark chocolate and restrained oak in a velvety texture. The long finish has brown sugar, almonds and cocoa, with a touch of peat smoke and a faint salty trace.
