Watt Whisky An Orkney Distillery 2012 – 9 Year Old – 57.1%

This An Orkney Distillery 2012 was selected by independent bottler Watt Whisky. The whisky matured for 9 years in two Hogsheads and was bottled in 2022 at a cask strength of 57.1% ABV. The total release consists of 733 bottles.

The name An Orkney Distillery deliberately keeps the exact distillery anonymous and refers only to the origin of the whisky: the Orkney Islands. This makes this bottling extra interesting for fans of independent releases and mysterious malts.

The profile combines light smoke with vanilla and fruit, complemented by a dry touch and a relatively light body. The higher alcohol percentage provides extra power and concentration, while a few drops of water can further open up the softer and fruitier aromas.

This whisky was bottled without coloring and non-chill filtered at cask strength, ensuring it reaches the bottle as naturally as possible.

On Whiskybase, this bottling achieves an average rating of 84.46/100 based on 15 ratings.
