The Story

About Orphan Barrel Castle's Curse Aged 14 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Orphan Barrel Castle's Curse Aged 14 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinct spirit that emanates from the esteemed Teaninich Distillery, founded in 1817. Situated in the Scottish Highlands, the distillery and the neighboring Teaninich Castle overlook the Cromarty Firth, a Special Protection area known for its diverse aquatic life. This whisky, matured for 14 years in select European oak casks, is bottled at an alcohol content of 94.8 proof. The maturation process imparts a unique balance of age and flavor; on the nose, you will detect inviting aromas of tangerine, poached pear, sweet confectionary, and dried herbs. Look for vanilla, red apple, and mint on the palate that leads to a long, oaky, and spicy finish. The label pays tribute to the legend of the Kelpie, a shape-shifting water spirit symbolic of Scotland's rich barley cultivation history.

About Orphan Barrel

Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company is a dedicated cause, acquiring some of the rarest casks from some of the finest whiskey cellars, and releasing them into the world as a cascade of limited edition, barrel-aged ambrosia. In 2013 bourbon and Tennessee whiskey were labeled the fastest growing product category by volume in the U.S. alcohol business.

The Orphan bottling project was more or less an ingenious response to this boom in the whiskey industry, and an effort to accommodate the vast quantities of leftover product from their monopoly of acquisitions. When Diageo didn't have a place for the acquired product in their blends, they set the spirits aside. Time transformed this new spirit into aged delicacies. In 2013, Orphan Barrel Whiskey was created by Diageo, commercializing a large stock of ultra-aged American whiskeys that it had been maturing at the Stitzel-Weller distillery in Shively Kentucky.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Tasting Notes

The nose is fruity with tangerine, cooked pear, herbal, and sweet aromas. Look for vanilla, apple, and mint on the palate. The notes linger on the finish where they are joined by oak and spice.
