70cl / 53.1% / Little Brown Dog - From the Aberdeenshire indie bottlers Little Brown Dog comes this 24-year-old Orkney whisky from an unspecified distillery on the island. A marriage of two refill hogsheads, it is testament how they can give the spirit time to mature without wood influence dominating. Sea air is present and correct, while the long maturation has given the peat a more delicate quality as it interleaves with notes of salted caramel, pale malt, apple and quince jelly in a deep, mature single malt.
