Single Malt
Scotland

Hailing from an undisclosed distillery on the isle of Orkney comes this eight-year-old single malt. The folks at indie bottler Douglas Laing claim it to be from "Orkney's Finest Distillery", and with just a couple of distilleries on the island, it might not be too puzzling a conundrum to work out. Joining Douglas Laing's Provenance Coastal Collection, this one rested in a single refill hogshead between April 2014 and May 2022, which yielded an outturn of 379 bottles.
Creamy barley and chalky grist mingle with a herbaceous sea breeze, with zesty lemon curd in the distance.
Stone fruits and fragrant peppercorns tangle, while floral malt rests comfortably in the depths. A whisp of charred herbs and seaweed are softened by silky caramel.
Hefty baking spice, toasted oak, and grilled apricot, with lingering prickles of pepper and a far-off coastal bonfire.
