Words of Whisky (86)

Color
Old gold
Nose
Very fresh and soft with light peat smoke and herbs. A subtle sweetness with sugar plums, honey and cotton candy make for a pleasant (albeit unspectacular) nose.

Taste
Smooth with a more noticeable peat and smoke influence. A little spicy and bitter, but still elegant. Some tobacco, leather and granola, but also a sweeter side with dates and orange jam.

Finish
Medium and smoke with a hint of rubber (sulphur) in the end.

Comments
A pleasant whisky with enough depth to stay interesting for a while.

BOW (88.50)

“A dram that holds your attention like a whispered secret, pulling you closer to the Orkney story it tells.”

Nose
An enchanting prelude: gentle waves of herbal tea steeped with candy sugar, melding into a soft citrus vibrancy of grapefruit. Layers of orange jam, fruit muesli with nuts and chocolate, all underscored by that hallmark wisp of Highland Park smokiness. The subtle complexity is a masterclass in restraint.

Taste
At first, it tiptoes in, creamy and sweet like toffee and forest honey. But wait—here comes the oak, not shy but insistent, with tingling spices that give a lively kick. Smoke dances around the edges, teasing rather than dominating. There’s depth, though the spirit flirts with holding back just a touch too much.

Finish
A fleeting goodbye that leaves a trace of walnut and oak, with smoke lingering like a distant memory. Sweetness fades to bitterness, with dry tea tannins and an echo of orange jam. The exit is understated, almost wistful, as though reluctant to part ways.

Final Thoughts
“While this may not have the bombast of its older siblings, there’s an elegance here—a whisky for the thoughtful drinker who doesn’t mind leaning in to catch the subtleties. The balance between sweetness and smoke is intact, though the finish leaves you yearning for just a bit more.”
