Orkney 2006 17 Year Old Cask No. 5051 - Berry Bros. & Rudd

This robust Orcadian opens with an ample burst of peat smoke, defying distillery norms. Subsequent notes of heather bells, leather, and charcoal follow. The palate introduces Sherry wood's impact, harmonizing dried fruits, gentle spices, thick smoke, heather, honey, and grilled lime. Its substantial texture fuses seamlessly with its peaty profile, leading to a finish with sooty peat, fruit, and honey waves. A remarkable Orcadian turf showcase.
