- Description
- From an undisclosed Orkney distillery, this 2005-distilled single malt spent 17 years in a first-fill oloroso sherry butt before Signatory bottled it at cask strength (55.4% ABV) in January 2023. The island's maritime climate and extended sherry maturation would have built complex notes of dried stone fruit and oak.
