Introducing Batch 6, a 13 year old Highland single malt and the next chapter in our Anon. series, bottled exclusively by Abbey Whisky. As ever, the distillery remains undisclosed, but the whisky tells its own story. Distilled in the north east Highlands of Scotland, this release offers a subtle coastal character wrapped in soft fruit and rich malty undertones. Bottled from a sherry hogshead at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or any additional colouring.
For those who know, the mystery only adds to the reward. Very limited. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Soft waves of buttery biscuits and sea spray, with salted almonds adding a savoury edge. Crisp green apple brings a bright, fresh lift, while the richness of vanilla fudge lingers beneath, offering a creamy, comforting sweetness.
Palate
Sweet, plump raisins and rich butterscotch, supported by subtle undertones of chocolate and a gentle saline edge. Juicy hints of apricot emerge alongside a malty richness, with salted caramel smoothing into warming notes of cracked pepper and ginger spice.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, unfolding with zesty dried fruits and floral blossom honey. Earthy garden herbs linger beneath, adding a gentle herbal lift, while soft black pepper and sweet oak spice leave a final, warming impression.
