Cadenhead An Orkney Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
About this bottle
Cadenhead's An Orkney is an independent single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Wm Cadenhead's, Scotland's oldest independent bottler, founded in 1842. The distillery is left undisclosed, as is Cadenhead's custom for this series, though it comes from Orkney's small malt whisky output. It's matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, left non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% ABV. Expect malt and heather on the nose with a note of ripe banana; the palate turns smooth and sweet, nutty and toffee-driven with light oak underneath, and the finish carries a gentle, lingering smokiness. It's built for whisky drinkers who like Cadenhead's plain-label, non-chill-filtered house style and want to try Orkney character without the Highland Park price tag.
How to drink Cadenhead's An Orkney
Neat, or with a splash of water to open the banana and heather further — this has too much character to bury under ice. Not one built for cocktails.
