Viking Dragon Boat 2.0 – Orkney Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2005

Nose: The sherry influence is muted, leaving room for chalk, pickled lemons and green bananas, but also a slight minerality and just a little gunpowder. A few drops of flower honey, just the subtlest slivers of earthy smoke, and finally some hemp ropes.
Palate: Gentle at first, the arrival is surprisingly easygoing and very mature. Beautiful notes of menthol, smoke, chalk and lemon peel, but also burlap, leather and more honey. Nice salinity too, finished off with a hint of cherry syrup.
Finish: Lingering smoke, seaweed and mineral touches. A tinge of pepper too.

Story of Orkney

Located off the northern coast of Scotland, Orkney is renowned for producing some of the world’s most distinctive island whiskies, shaped by rugged coastlines, maritime climate, and centuries of Norse heritage. The islands are celebrated for their balance of soft peat smoke, heather influence, coastal salinity, and elegant malt character.

Today, Orkney’s whisky and distilling culture continues to evolve through producers and distilleries that honour traditional craftsmanship while embracing the islands’ Viking history and unique terroir. The region remains one of Scotland’s most respected whisky destinations among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
