The Jane Street Collection The Original One Woodrows of Edinburgh Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 48.5%

Sometimes the simplest expression is also the most honest. The Original One is Woodrow's of Edinburgh's answer to what a Highland single malt tastes like when everything extra is stripped away and the grain, the oak and the time are left to speak for themselves.

Expert description

The Original One from The Jane Street Collection is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 48.5% ABV by independent bottler Woodrow's of Edinburgh.

Woodrow's of Edinburgh, founded in 2020 by brothers Mark and Chris Watt in Leith, works from a philosophy of transparency and flavour-led releases. The Jane Street Collection is built around clear sensory themes, and The Original One is the collection's most straightforward expression: an honest picture of Highland style without additional cask finishing.

The whisky is matured in bourbon casks, allowing the spirit's own fruitiness and malt character to shine rather than heavy cask influence.

Tasting notes

Nose

Green apples and pear meet a mild malt profile, lifted by soft vanilla and a touch of honey.

Palate

Soft and slightly oily, with apple, pear and a hint of peach, while the malt provides structure and a subtle spiced edge.

Finish

Medium-length and clean, with notes of malt, citrus and a light dryness from the oak.
