Orkney 2011/2026 14 y.o. 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts Finish Signatory 100 Proof Edition #71 (70cl, 57.1%)

A 14-year-old Orkney single malt distilled in 2011 and finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. Signatory Vintage bottled it in 2026 as number 71 of the 100 Proof Edition at 57.1%, equivalent to 100 proof in the historical British system. It is natural in colour and not chill-filtered. The Oloroso finish brings sherry sweetness, dried fruit, dark berries, nuts and spice, balanced by honeyed malt and gentle heather smoke, with sea salt and maritime smoke underlining the island character. The nose brings sweet honeyed malt and gentle heather smoke with dried fruit and a trace of sea salt; the palate is full and complex, with Oloroso sweetness, dark berries, nuts, spice and maritime smoke; and the finish is long and warming, with green pepper, honeydew melon, nuts and fine blossom honey alongside elegant ashy smoke.
