"The Orkney Islands are steeped in history and folklore, indeed Scapa Flow where the distillery sits still hides the ghostly wrecks of the German fleet scuttled after the end of World War 1. The distillery was opened in 1885 and embarked on a century of production involving few changes of ownership. It was silent for two years from 1934 and was rebuilt in 1959 with the floor maltings ceasing production a few years later. Further internal improvements were made in 1978 including the installation of a Lomond type still. The water supply carries a considerable amount of peat from the Lingro Burn and local springs, as a result of which the barley it uses is left unpeated.
COLOUR
Dark straw.
BODY
Light to medium.
FINISH
Long and creamy.
CASK TYPE
1st Fill Bourbon Barrels.
STYLE
Light and balanced Island malt.
TASTING NOTE
AROMA WITHOUT WATER
Light and fruity with green apples, white grapes and sweet vanilla. A subtle smokiness develops.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER
Chili spices initially with grapefruit, a slight nuttiness and a lingering creamy milk chocolate edge.
AROMA WITH WATER
Becomes fruitier with pears, apples and citrus aromas. A trace of cigar ash and vanilla.
TASTE WITH WATER
Sweet vanilla and mild spices initially with tropical fruits and charred oak flavours developing."
