This is the third and final expression in our series of single malt whiskies related to extraordinary boats from Wick. The WK217 `Spectrum`
was built in 1920 and was one of the first Wick drifters to use a pioneering way of fishing called Anchor Seine Netting. She was also used during World War II for harbour service duties. Matured in ex American and Spanish ex sherry butts
