Orphan Barrel Woven Honor 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Orphan Barrel Woven Honor 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Orphan Barrel Woven Honor 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is Diageo’s U.S.-only Linkwood bottling: eighteen years in American oak, filled at 92.6 proof, released once and then gone. The casks sat at Linkwood Distillery on the outskirts of Elgin — founded in 1821 — while the whisky kept its grassy, floral line without a second-wood finish. Orphan Barrel exists to pull overlooked stock into the light; this single malt is one limited batch. Save it for an after-dinner dram.
Green apple, lemon zest, vanilla, and honeycomb stand out on the palate, with pear, toasted nuts, and a thread of honey behind them. The sip is medium-bodied and a little oily — citrus and nougat, then a peppery close with dark honey. Floral grass and orchard fruit hang on after the glass is empty.
