Tasting Notes
An Orkney 14 Year Old - 2007 | Cask 6 | Lady of the Glen
Nose - light leather and charred oak initially followed by a smoked oranges and heather character. With time, exotic spice, dried fruits ands and creme brûlée notes emerge.
Palate - honey on toast, vanilla and bitter dark chocolate immediately flood the taste buds, but mellows to reveal a spicier character of nutmeg, cinnamon and smoked vanilla cream.
Finish - long and with a bitter sweet balance of strong coffee and glazed cherries. This mellows with developing aromatic peat and high quality coco powder.
