Secret Orkney Single Malt Whisky, 13 years, 46%, 0.7 l, exclusive single cask edition



The Orkney Islands form Scotland’s northernmost whisky region. Orkney whiskies are full-bodied and balanced, and also have a distinctive salty, seaweedy character. The high humidity slows down the ageing process, resulting in a more balanced maturation. There are only two whisky distilleries in Orkney, Highland Park and Scapa. The whisky cask no. 13, filled in 2009, that we selected for the third release of our Einherjer Edition comes from one of these two distilleries. This single malt was matured in Hogshead Bourbon Refill for over 13 years until we finally released it for you.



Whisky is a beer that originates from distillation, so it is no surprise that many brewers are also passionate about the distilled juice of barley. In the Einherjer Edition, the brewers of the Wacken Brewery have put together an excellent selection of premium single malts bottled exclusively for the Wacken Brewery.



A whisky distilled and aged in the Orkney Islands fits perfectly into our Einherjer edition, because the archipelago was inhabited by Norwegian Vikings in the 8th and 9th centuries. Even today, its residents still feel connected to their Nordic ancestors.



This unnamed single malt from Orkney is deliberately not chill-filtered. To avoid excessive haze, it was reduced to 46% vol. the alcohol was discontinued. The whisky therefore has a particularly intense flavour.

Tasting impressions:



- Smell:

Very complex: vanilla, pear, green apple and a slight herbaceous note

- Flavor:

The maltiness powerfully transports a wave of salty sea to the palate, accompanied by a light smoky note, oak, honey and nutmeg.

End:

The aforementioned aromatic spectrum fades slowly and harmoniously. A smoky vanilla note remains full-bodied, which gradually fades away and the palate finally awaits the next sip.
