Orkney at its most aromatic. Jasmine and lemon-scented geraniums on the nose are followed by an intense, nutty sweetness of amaretto poached peaches and caramelised lemons on the palate. The finish lingers with subtle smoke from our Orkney heathered peat.

To create the 2024 release of our 30-year-old whisky, our Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion selected eight casks laid down in 1990, 1991 and 1992. For our older whiskies, our Master Whisky Makers have fewer casks to work with, demanding all their skill and expertise to create our signature flavour and character through the careful marriage of different cask types. The resulting whisky is complex and mature with a natural deep copper colour and beautiful warmth to it – perfect for special occasions.
This release comes from just eight hand-selected casks: three sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads deliver a hit of aromatic spiciness and citrus notes, while one sherry-seasoned American oak hogshead brings flavours of sweet almond and creamy vanilla. We chose two refill hogsheads and one refill butt to round out the flavours and add fragrant floral notes, alongside a single ex-bourbon barrel, to punch up the tropical coconut aromas.
Orkney’s got many things to recommend it, from its creative community to its spectacular rockstacks. But it’s also an ideal place for maturing whisky. Thanks to our temperate climate we lose less whisky to the angel’s share than on the mainland—when it comes to rare whiskies like our 30-year-old, that’s most definitely a good thing.
