- Description
- Douglas Laing's Clan Denny Chronicles series presents a mystery Orkney single malt distilled in 2007 and matured for 13 years in a refill hogshead before bottling at cask strength in 2020. The refill hogshead allows the malt's core character to shine without overwhelming new-oak influence, revealing the distillery's house style with clarity and intensity. Bottled without reduction or chill-filtration from just 371 casks, it preserves the malt's full complexity and natural colour. An intriguing expression for those who enjoy detective work in a glass and seek authentic Orkney character unmasked by excessive cask influence.
