This new single cask bottling of 22 Year Old Secret Orkney Single Malt Whisky- finished for extraordinary flavour in a rare Palo Cortado sherry cask are being released under the signature of renowned master blender Dr Kirstie McCallum- who took charge of the Crabbie whisky portfolio.
After spending 21 years in ex-bourbon casks- this peated Secret Orkney single malt was transferred to a highly coveted Palo Corado sherry cask- hand selected by Dr Kirstie- before being left to rest for a final six months at Crabbie's warehouse in Edinbourgh.
Bottled at 47.5% the influence of this unusual sherry - described as Amontillado on the nose and Oloroso on the mouth - Gives wonderfully complex and rounded quality to the spicey smokiness of the finished whisky.
A nose of dried fruit- vanilla fudge- forest berries and a hint of peppery smoke lead to flavours of sweet berries and cream- caramel toffee- dried fruit and hints of dark chocolate and coffee- followed by a long- smoky finish.
