Secret Orkney Vintage 100 Proof Edition #15 14 Years 2010/

This 14-year-old Secret Orkney single malt whisky comes from an unnamed distillery and was created by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage from first fill oloroso sherry butts and bourbon hogsheads. It is part of Signatory's 100 Proof range, in which exclusive whiskies with an alcohol content of at least 57.1% vol. are bottled. The term proof is an ancient unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring so that the barrels in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea.
