The Orphan Barrel team found several overlooked casks there, and the label tells the legend of the Scottish kelpie, a shape-shifting water horse that symbolises both water and Scotland's long history of growing barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma brings tangerine, pear, sweet confectionery and dried herbs, with tasting notes of vanilla, red apple and mint. The finish brings gingersnap cookies, spiced Christmas fruitcake and tannic oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe richly illustrated label makes it a superb gift for collectors of Orphan Barrel releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrphan Barrel recommends serving it neat or on the rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEuropean oak is more porous and tannic than American oak, giving whisky dried fruit, spice and a deeper colour. Orphan Barrel releases are limited, and each tells its story through richly illustrated labels, which has made the series a favourite with collectors who display the bottles side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangerine, pear, sweet confectionery and dried herbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, red apple and mint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gingersnap, spiced fruitcake and oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orphan Barrel (Teaninich distillery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castle's Curse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94.8 proof (47.4% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e European oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highlands, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or on the rocks.
