About
Secret of Orkney is a distinctive single malt from Scotland's Islands region, bottled by Dram Charaidean. This 16-year-old expression was matured in a bourbon hogshead and bottled at cask strength (56.9%), delivering an intense and unfiltered profile. The whisky captures the unique character of Orkney with its interplay of peat smoke, maritime salt, and fruity complexity. The nose reveals malty, forward-leaning notes with hints of sea breeze, lemon, and biscuit, complemented by caramel undertones. On the palate, the peat becomes more pronounced, gradually giving way to fruity and earthy flavours with a slightly sour wine character and seawater minerality. The finish is raw and assertive, with lingering peat smoke and oceanic elements that echo the whisky's island origins. This is a characterful dram for those seeking an unconventional and thought-provoking Orkney experience.
