Description
This Orkney single malt from Whitlaw distillery spent eight years in a single red wine barrel, imparting deep berry and subtle tannin structure atypical of most Scottish malts. Red fruit, stone fruit, and light spice meld with the distillery's house character, while the non-chill filtered bottling preserves natural texture and mouthfeel. The finish is medium-length with lingering fruit and a touch of grip from the wine cask influence. A distinctive expression for those seeking Scottish single malts with unconventional cask maturation.
