  • The Orkney Hotel Whisky Menu
    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 DRAMATHON 19Th OCT 2019 – PARTICIPANT GUIDE Firstly…. a HUGE Thanks to You for Your Support. We Didn't Think the Subtl
    THE DRAMATHON 19th OCT 2019 – PARTICIPANT GUIDE Firstly…. A HUGE thanks to you for your support. We didn’t think the subtle blend of great trails and fantastic whisky would be quite so popular, and we were slightly overwhelmed by the response. We know very clearly that we don’t have an event without you all entering and showing up. So…. thanks! Secondly….. there’s a load of info below to help you get the most from your Dramathon experience. Whilst you may have sensed that it’s not exactly the World Championships (!), it’s a slightly complex event with several start points, and some critical logistics. Please do take 10 minutes to read and understand this briefing. Help us to help you . Thirdly….. The Dramathon is a trail-run. There are a few short tarmac sections, but the majority is off-road – much of it decent ex-railway path, but also some rougher, wetter, grassier sections. Please come prepared, and choose footwear accordingly. Course distances are approximate and intended as a guideline for you to estimate the nature of the event. Please don’t be surprised if we have limited interest in what “your Garmin said” . The contents of this guide are; - Volunteers (Help Needed!) - Race HQ - Race Weekend Timeline - Golden Rules - Course Description (inc. Footwear, Cut Offs, Compulsory Kit, Relay Teams) - Aid Stations - A95 Crossings - Coach Transport - Facilities at Starts, Bag Transport - Finish - Dramathon Party - Transport & Accommodation - Thanks Race HQ Thanks to the incredible support of Glenfiddich Distillery, we will be using the Distillery as race HQ. It will house Saturday sign-on (note, Friday sign-on is at Glenfarclas Distillery – see the schedule below), coach pick-up and the finish line.

  • Cocktails and Spirits List 1 / 2019 English
    ENGLISH COCKTAILS AND SPIRITS LIST 1 / 2019 LUXURY IN A DRINK Flavours which introduce and delight. Re-visitations and new creations, the fruit of the expertise of Raise the Bar. Classic compositions and the most innovative of cocktails all become part of the Langosteria experience. Characterised by creations which, step by step, are made to accompany you from the moment you walk through the door to the final goodbye. From an “Americano a modo mio” to an exotic “Passion dreams”. From “Shibuya” to “Manhattan”, via “Milano New York”, the byword is “Uno mas”. Our “Giuda” will never let you down. But there is no doubt that “Irma” will seduce you. And those who prefer to thoroughly honour tradition can take their pick from “Martini Cocktail”, “Old Fashioned” and “Margarita”. A wide range of recipes. For a selection which may be different every time but is always yours. A new ritual, because forgetting the hectic life is a luxury, one which starts right now. “I’m a man of simple tastes, I’m always satisfied with the best”. The words of Oscar Wilde, the interpretations of the after-dinner drink in Langosteria style. Oceanic journeys in search of unique reserves. A route which leads to vintage Bas Armagnac and rums from exotic lands. For those who prefer contemplation, there are the various evolutions of whisky, from those which aim for the utmost in perfection to the Samaroli Blends, with their often-unique characteristics. A unique experience, evening after evening. To enthral and amaze. But always characterised by the international style of Langosteria.
