The One Orange Wine Cask Finished
The Lakes Distillery has done something quite unusual here, and finished its The One blended whisky in casks which previously held Orange wine! This particular Orange wine is pretty much what is sounds like, white wine macerated with orange peel, known as 'Vino de Naranja' and from Huelva in Andalucía. Just to confuse you other types of Orange wine are made, which do not use actual oranges. First-fill American oak casks were seasoned with said Orange wine (the one with actual oranges), and used to finish the whisky. Just 2,994 bottles of the zesty spirit were released at 46.6% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Orange marmalade and a touch of white grape, with aromatic cigar box alongside polished oak.
Palate
Gentle, fragrant peat smoke supports a floral hint, with more zesty orange and tropical fruits and a pinch of tobacco.
Finish
Tropical fruit and candied orange peel lingers.
