Description

Orkney 14 Year Old 2011 (HP) 100 Proof Edition #71 Signatory Vintage 70cl, 57.1% is a bold Island single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the respected 100 Proof series. Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2026 at 14 years old, this release is presented at 57.1%, the classic 100 Proof strength.

This bottling is listed as Orkney (HP), with “HP” widely understood to refer to Highland Park, although the label keeps the official naming as Orkney. It was finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, giving the whisky a rich and full-bodied profile while keeping the island character of gentle smoke, heather, honeyed malt and coastal spice.

Expect a strong balance of sherry sweetness and Orkney smoke. Layers of dried fruit, orange peel, honey, soft peat, roasted nuts, chocolate, spice and oak make this an excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy sherried Island whisky with power, depth and character.

Why Choose Orkney 14 Year Old 2011 (HP) 100 Proof Edition #71 Signatory Vintage 70cl, 57.1%

This release stands out because it combines the elegant smoky island style of Orkney whisky with the richness of first-fill Oloroso sherry cask finishing. It is powerful at 57.1%, but still balanced, with smoke, heather, honey, dried fruit and spice working together very well.
