Secret Orkney Vintage 100 Proof Edition #23 14 Years 2010/2024

This 14-year-old single malt whisky comes from an undisclosed Speyside distillery and was created by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage from first fill and second fill Oloroso sherry butts. It is #23 of Signatory's 100 Proof Edition, in which exclusive whiskies with an alcohol content of at least 57.1% vol. are bottled. The term proof is an old 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 to ensure that the barrels in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea.
