A refined, balanced whisky that combines sweet smokiness with subtle spicy notes, with a natural deep amber colour direct from the cask. Full of character, but wonderfully smooth, it’s named after the waters that surround our Orkney home—tempestuous at times, but always alive with natural beauty. Orkney’s powerful seas are the reason our coastline is peppered with craggy cliffs and awe-inspiring rockstacks. But by bringing the warming waters of the Gulf stream to our shores, they also ensure that, though it’s never scorching here, it’s also never freezing, providing the perfect, cool and steady conditions for aging our whisky. Taste: In a word, deep. Vanilla and nutmeg on the palate, with a soft smokiness from our Orkney heathered peat. The finish is sweet and nutty, with notes of crushed almonds and brown sugar. Appearance: Deep amber. Aroma: Zesty warmth on the nose.
