    THE ORKNEY HOTEL WHISKY MENU ORKNEY MALTS Orkney’s rugged and windswept character has shaped some of Scotland’s most distinct and warming malt whiskies. Highland Park 12yr (40%) From Scotland’s northernmost distillery comes a full flavoured Malt. With a nose of malt, sherry and peat, a palate of smoke, heather and other earthy elements. Highland Park 15yr (43%) Highland Park 15 has a remarkable complex nose with notes of camphor, peat and citrus fruits and flowers. The drying sensation on the finish leaves a rich smoky feeling and the immediate desire to refill your glass. Highland Park 18yr (43%) Burnished gold in colour with a rich, mature oak and aromatic smoke aroma. It has a rich, full flavour, honey and peat taste and a soft, round and long finish. Highland Park 21yr (47.5%) Drawing its incredible character from predominantly American oak casks which have been seasoned with sherry, this 21 year old is a truly dynamic whisky with an intensely fruity and spicy centre, surrounded by complex layers of candied orange peel, dark chocolate and rich, slightly drier smoke. A malt that rewards patience and delivers experience like no other. Highland Park 25yr (50.7%) With its golden dark red colour and very rich, mature oak, chocolate fudge aroma, this whisky is universally acclaimed, by the critics as one of the great single malts. It has a full, rich burst of flavours, soft honey and nutty toffee and a long and surprisingly sweet finish for its age. Highland Park 30yr (48.1%) 30 years ago after deciding to lay down the casks that would go on to become the heart of this exceptional whisky and over these 3 decades, the whisky maturing inside them has developed an outstanding balance, with a seductive sweetness and extremely delicate smoke.

  • The Glendronach – the ‘Allardice’ Scotch Whisky
    The GlenDronach – the ‘Allardice’ Scotch Whisky By David Allardice, Melbourne, Australia August 2009 Email: [email protected] .au GlenDronach is a single malt scotch whisky, produced by The GlenDronach Distillery Co Ltd at its distillery in Aberdeenshire. This whisky is of particular interest to Allardices around the world because of the family connection. The Distillery was founded by James Allardes in 1826, although he is referred to on the bottle labels and company literature as James Allardice and the 18 year old GlenDronach whisky is named the ‘Allardice’. To avoid confusion, we will mostly refer to the more modern spelling in this article. HISTORY OF THE DISTILLERY Established in 1826 and located at Forgue, Aberdeenshire, approximately 5 miles north-east of Huntly, GlenDronach is classified as a Highland malt. The Distillery is located in an area noted for the number and quality of illicit stills which operated prior to the 1823 Excise Act. GlenDronach was one of the first distilleries licensed under the Act. The GlenDronach Distillery was founded by James Allardice with a group of astute local farmers and businessmen. The Duke of Gordon (from nearby Huntly) liked the whisky so much that he took James with him to London, to present him to the London gentry. But the success went to Allardice’s head. He neglected his Distillery and in 1837 it was destroyed by a fire. When James was declared bankrupt in 1842, the Distillery was taken over by the remaining owners and operated by one of them, Walter Scott, who worked at the Teaninich Distillery.
