Description
The Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition ORKNEY (HP) 14 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Butts #71 2011 57.1% Vol. 0.7 litre is a single malt Scotch whisky with a strong character from the renowned independent bottler Signatory Vintage. This bottling from the popular 100 Proof Edition was distilled in 2011 and bottled after 14 years of maturation, resulting in a particularly structured and complex Orkney single malt. The indication of origin ORKNEY (HP) points to the stylistic proximity to the famous island distillery and emphasises the maritime character of this Scotch whisky from Scotland.
The complete maturation in selected Oloroso sherry butts gives this sherry cask whisky additional depth and ensures a powerful flavour structure that harmonises perfectly with the high alcohol content of the 100 proof bottling. At 57.1% vol., this cask strength whisky presents itself in intense form and is aimed at connoisseurs looking for an expressive and unadulterated single malt from An Orkney. As a limited bottling, this Signatory Vintage whisky stands for precision craftsmanship, authentic cask maturation and a high degree of individuality.
