=============

Intense &amp; Balanced

The flavour
-----------

A breath of Orkney fresh air. Heathered Orkney peat on the nose with a floral zing of lemon zest. Black cherries, cocoa nibs, honey and peat smoke follow on the palate offset by just a hint of pistachio. This one will linger with a spicy, peaty finish.

The craft
---------

The dramatic fruity and spicy flavours of Sky of Orkney come from whiskies matured in first-fill, sherry seasoned European and American oak casks. Refill casks mellow and smooth out the complex flavours, adding balance and nuttiness for a lingering finish.

The stories
-----------

In Orkney, our northern latitude makes for truly beautiful skies, with long, colour-soaked sunsets in summer and a chance to see the otherworldly Northern Lights in winter. We like to think these awe-inspiring views are reflected in every whisky we make at our distillery in Kirkwall—each one offering layers of vivid flavour and a long, satisfying finish.

A hunk of good quality chocolate is a simple and delicious bite alongside this intense whisky. If you’re after something a bit more adventurous, try jerk chicken: its punchy combination of fruity sweetness and intense spiciness will pair especially well with this one.
