Production Method

• Ingredients: A blend of malt whiskies from two of Scotland’s finest Speyside distilleries combined with lightly peated malt from the Orkney Islands
• Distillation Process: Traditional Scottish distillation from respective distilleries, where Speyside contributes fruity and honey notes, while Orkney adds mineral and lightly smoky character

• Special Techniques: Expert blending designed to combine classic Speyside characteristics with subtle smoke and controlled sherry influence

Tasting Notes
