Why Buy: Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co.’s uncompromising focus on craft has made the brand a collector’s favorite. Our latest limited-edition 18 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky release from the Linkwood Distillery minds the details and speaks with a maturity and poise that can only come from time and patience.
Our Tasting Notes: This smooth, medium-bodied Scotch opens with an initial fanfare of grassy and floral notes, priming you for the bright, expressive experience to come. On the palate, you’re carried along by waves of green apple and lemon zest, with a propulsive undercurrent of vanilla and honeycomb. There is depth here, but not heaviness, in keeping with Orphan Barrel’s mission to try to invoke the freshness of spring, and its lasting impression — and believe us, the finish is marvelously long and controlled — is that of maturity and gentle grace.
The Story: Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co. has a passion for sharing exceptional, rare spirits with the rest of the world. Their latest offering, Woven Honor, hails from the storied Linkwood Distillery, in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. Founded in 1821, Linkwood has long been revered among whisky connoisseurs for its light, floral character. However, much of its production has historically been destined for blends, making single malt expressions rare and highly coveted. Left to age untouched for 18 years, each bottle intertwines Linkwood’s delicate spirit with the rich and rounding influencing of American Oak, offering a chance to savor the intricate flavors and aromas crafted over nearly two centuries of tradition. Like a spider's web glistening with dew in the morning light, Woven Honor is a work of art, admired and enjoyed for its singular perfection—an unspoiled masterpiece, cherished in its natural state.
ABV: 46.3% (92.6 proof).
What to Pair It With: Savor this one neat or with a drop of spring water to unlock its nuances. Its delicate profile pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, a gruyere souffle, or even a light lemon tart.
Fun Fact: The bottle's vibrant illustration features the Scottish Thistle, one of the many wildflowers surrounding the Linkwood Distillery. This national emblem of Scotland symbolizes both defense and enduring beauty – fitting for a whisky that's stood the test of time.
Our Guarantee: As always, we only buy and source directly from the estate, to ensure that your bottles arrive with pristine provenance. Secure yours today!
