Single Malt

Muckle Flugga
A single malt Scotch whisky from the Muckle Flugga range, named after a small island in the Shetland Islands. The whisky (which comes from the Speyside region) is aged in "first-use Sherry oak casks", and are then taken up to the remote archipelago to age for another year, experiencing the harsh seasons before being returned to the mainland for bottling. The range is known for their blended malt expression.
Ripe orchard fruits, dried raisins, rich honey and touches of sweet Sherry.
Lovely, smooth tipple. I'm a big sherry finish fan so I was curious to savour it, given its intriguing ageing process.
Not bad Muckle
Can anyone please explain what these two words mean? No age statement I can see and nothing to say it wasn’t chill-filtered or given a caramel tan. Honest opinions on this whisky? x
A good unusual malt with interesting history!
Very much doubt if the “remove archipelago” is anywhere near Muckle Flugga!
