- Description
- Forest Distillery's debut private bottling is an Orkney single malt distilled in 2008 and matured for 11 years in a single ruby Port barrique, resulting in just 387 bottles in 2019. The extended Port cask influence imparts deep red fruit, plum, and winey complexity while maintaining Orkney's characteristic maritime character and subtle smoke. Presented in a striking gold-glazed porcelain bottle, this whisky deserves equal respect in appearance and flavour—the texture is rich and glossy, with a long, fruit-driven finish. A collector's piece suited to those seeking rarity, craftsmanship, and the distinctive terroir of Scotland's northern islands.
