Maltbarn Orkney 2006 - No. 280

87/ 100Very good

Maltbarn Orkney 2006 - No. 280 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Orkney, an island group in northern Scotland known for producing whiskies that often balance malt sweetness with a gentle coastal character. At 20 years old, this bottling is likely to show more maturity and complexity than a younger whisky, with the cask influence and spirit having had plenty of time to integrate.

Crystalline Highland Park with zesty citrus, brine, chalk and green apple, delivering a lively, austere profile that is totally on point.
