With harmonized notes of sweet figs, apricots, nutmeg, chocolate-coated marzipan and aromatic heather-rich peat-smoke, 16 Year Old Wings Of The Eagle is an uncompromising, wildly harmonious single malt whisky.
We created 16 Year
Old Wings of the Eagle to celebrate our wild and windswept islands. Our waters
are stormy, our winters are long and few trees can survive here… but that just
makes for a more harmonious whisky.
Orkney winds can reach speeds of over
100 miles per hour in winter and this means that our moorland peat is treeless
but rich in fragrant heather, which, when burned, produces the characteristic
aromatic smokiness of our whisky. In this whisky’s case, when you pair that
smokiness with maturation in hand-picked sherry seasoned European oak casks,
you capture an intriguing depth of flavor.
