Opis

The Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition Orkney (Highland Park) 14 Years Old Single Malt is a rare and characterful cask-strength bottling from the independent bottler Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky. Distilled in 2011 and matured for 14 years, it embodies the unmistakable style of the world-renowned Orkney distillery, Highland Park, which is famous for its harmonious balance of delicate smokiness, fruitiness and spice. This single malt derives its distinctive profile from a finish in first-fill Palo Cortado hogsheads, which imparts elegant nutty aromas, a subtle dryness, and added depth and complexity. Bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV at cask strength, it impresses with its pure intensity. The whisky is also unadulterated, as it has been bottled without chill filtration or colouring, ensuring that its authenticity and quality remain unaltered. This edition is aimed at connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate the special appeal of rare sherry cask finishes and powerful single malts.
