- Description
- Hunter Laing's First Editions bottling of this 15-year-old Orkney single malt remains cloaked in mystery—the distillery's identity deliberately concealed, though few distilleries operate on the islands. Matured in a refill hogshead and limited to 309 bottles, it offers intrigue as much as spirit.
