Or Sileis Orkney 2006 16 Years Old Hogshead 61.1% 700ml
In 2019, we had a "Viking" from the same Orkney production area that was well received in the market. It was affirmed by Mr. Serge's professional review on the whisky index website WHISKYFUN with 88 points. It has been waiting for more than 3 years , we finally found a plateau knight who surpassed this "Viking", and hoped to share this unexpected single-barrel original wine with everyone.
Speaking of the highland knights in the Orkney Islands, what comes to mind is the medieval bearded man wearing a horned helmet, holding a buckler and a battle axe, and riding an oak carved longship, that is, the North Sea pirates in memory. , regardless of people's albums "Viking Legend" and "The Last Kingdom" all make us full of curiosity about everything in the Viking Age, and the culture of the Vikings' bold meat-eating, drinking, and stabbing is profound. imprinted in our minds.
The "Whisky Pirate" selected by Or Sileis X Drunken Selection this time is a 16-year-old single-barrel original wine of the Highland Knights. The first smell of lemongrass and vanilla cream are unrestrained with the pride of the Vikings. Walnuts and almonds are full of taste buds. This time, the design of the wine label also deepens the visual sense of the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, so that the old gourmets can experience the passion of "Western Dragon Boat" while drinking, and enjoy the bold and unrestrained drinking blood.
[Tasting Notes]
- Color: Deep golden like autumn harvest rice stalks
- Aroma: Viking-like gushes of vanilla honey burst out of the eye-catching lemongrass, followed by a hint of almond tea and the finish of fresh bananas.
- Taste: Once it enters the throat, the rich oil covers the whole mouth, and then the honey water and vanilla cream flow into the throat softly, and you can immediately feel the layered expression of the walnuts and almonds just bitten off.
- Finishing rhyme: The unique smoky honey aroma of the plateau is entangled with the elegant dried banana, and finally the delicate citrus aroma is sweet and catchy.
