Crabbie 1999 | 22 Year Old Orkney Single Malt Palo Cortado Finish

Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Bottled by John Crabbie 70cl / 47.5%

This Crabbie 1999 22-year-old Orkney whisky is another of the company's superb single casks of 'mystery' single malt whisky, and like the previous editions it's not that difficult a mystery to solve - and the answer should make fans of that particular Orkney distillery very happy.

Here we have a single bourbon cask of the 1999 vintage whisky from that very famous Orkney distillery, finished in a Palo Cortado sherry cask and bottled as a 22-year-old in 2021. This Crabbie 1999 single cask yielded 253 bottles at 47.5% and was bottled without colouring or chill filtration.
