Mystery Malt (Highland Park) 16 Year Old 2010 Unicorn for TWB

St. Ola Orkney 16 Year Old 2010 Unicorn is a bold and evocative Island single malt Scotch whisky, distilled at a mystery distillery in Kirkwall, St Ola, and bottled exclusively for The Whisky Barrel as part of the sought-after Unicorn Series. Distilled in 2010 and matured in a first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (#TWB1044), this powerful single cask was bottled in 2026 at a natural 61.7% ABV, yielding just 274 bottles.

First fill Oloroso maturation brings deep sherry richness to the spirit, layering classic Orkney character—heather honey, gentle smoke, and maritime influence—with notes of dried fruits, chocolate, and warming spice. Presented at full cask strength and without chill-filtration, this whisky delivers an intense and uncompromising expression with exceptional depth and complexity.

The distinctive Unicorn Series label features unicorns visiting Skara Brae, the ancient Neolithic settlement on Orkney, adding a sense of mythology and heritage to this already captivating release.
