Product information "Secret Orkney (HP) 2000 Whisky Agency & Sansibar - 52,6%"
An Orkney whisky of a kind you rarely come across: distilled in 2000, bottled in 2026, matured in a cream sherry butt and so dark you’d almost think it had absorbed the very storms of Orkney. On the palate: dark fruits, creamy sweetness, no woody heaviness, plus a maritime herbal note that really packs a punch on the finish. Powerful and elegant.
When Carsten Ehrlich and Jens Drewitz select whiskies together, the scene knows: this won’t be a fluke, it’ll be a statement.
The pair have been deeply immersed in the whisky game for years, having tasted, assessed, rejected and celebrated countless casks – and it is precisely this expertise, coupled with a healthy dose of friendship, that goes into the second joint batch from Sansibar Whisky & The Whisky Agency.
Just in time for the Whisky Fair in Limburg, they are presenting four bottlings that demonstrate why Carsten & Jens are among the most reliable noses and finest palates in the industry.
