The distillery was founded in 1789 and with its location in Krikwall on the Orkney Islands it is the distillery that is the northernmost in Scotland. Because of this special location and the special peat on Orkney the whisky has a peculiar taste. One aroma that is described very often to be found is the \u2018sweetness of heather\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
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\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n
When Carsten Ehrlich and Jens Drewitz select whiskies together, the scene knows: this won\u2019t be a fluke, it\u2019ll be a statement.<\/p>\n
The pair have been deeply immersed in the whisky game for years, having tasted, assessed, rejected and celebrated countless casks \u2013 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":180687,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2430,2504,2851,3193,2204,2276,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-180696","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-highland-park-en","product_cat-highlands-en","product_cat-independent-bottlers","product_cat-sansibar-en","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-15357","pa_cask_type-cream-sherry-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-25-en","pa_destillation_date-2000-en-2","pa_region-highlands-en","pa_whisky_bottler-sansibar-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-keine-angabe-en-2","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
