Teenage Kicks Orkney 16 Year Old

The Uncharted Whisky Co is delighted to unveil our first ever bottling- a stunning 16 year old single malt scotch whisky distilled in an Orkney distillery- Teenage Kicks.

This unique cask harks from the stormy shores of Orkney and will deliver less than 395 from a single exceptional Hogshead. At the perfect age of sweet sixteen, this Orcadian whisky packs a serious teenage kick with a rich, sweet and cereal nose followed by a headstrong but mature and balanced palate.

These are strictly limited to 3 bottles per customer. The bottles will be dispatched next week (W/C 15/03/2021).

£79.00

Available order now, each bottle is drawn from a single hogshead, filled and individually labelled by hand and is proudly offered to you free from colouring or chill-filtration. At the bold 50% ABV, our artful, distinct and tactile bottles are each filled by hand in minute single cask batches. These rare bottles are highly collectible and delicious.

This first ever release was offered previously on pre-sale where it sold out. We kept a small allocation back to insure against dropped cases or other disasters. This small allocation is now offered for sale and will be dispatched next week (W/C 15/03/2021). This will be the final release of this very limited single cask.

WHY THE NAME – TEENAGE KICKS?

We give all of our releases a name that befits them. This magnificent dram is bottled at the perfect age of sweet sixteen. A teen spirit kick but old enough to make life lasting memories. It is bold, intense, brimming with attitude and brings to the palate a complexity of undertones (geddit?). Bottled at the punchy 50% ABV- this single hogshead is a Teenage Kick in a bottle.

Please savour this dram and the moment it brings. As with all good things in life, blink and you’ll miss it.

WHICH DISTILLERY?

The question on everyone’s lips…. and one we can’t answer! There are two famous single malt distilleries on Orkney and we are not allowed to disclose which of the two distilleries that this release came from. This expression is the perfect age of sweet Sixteen, an age now lost from the ranges of Orkney malts. Feel free to have a guess once you’ve tasted it!

This pre-order release will be ready for shipping on 15th March 2021 and is strictly limited to just 3 bottles per customer.

TASTING NOTES

POWDERED SUGAR, SAVOURY CEREAL & BIG HITTING SPICE

Nose
Bold and spicy front gives way to sweet cereals and the merest wisp of char.

Palate
A huge kick of full-bodied spice is followed by brown sugar, caramel and soft white fruit. A dash of water mellows the pepper to give way to more cereal and barley notes alongside fudge and floral incense.

Finish
The spice lingers on the palette interwoven with a delicate sweetness and complex undertones.
