Producer Description
"This is our third official Old Orkney bottling. A multi-vintage, small batch 21 year old Orkney single malt, bottled at natural cask strength with a beautiful and rich sherrywood influence. We married together equal parts Orkney Malt from two different casks. First, a 2003 plain oak refill hogshead, second, a 1999 1st fill ex-bodega sherry butt. The whisky from these two casks was combined and married in a 2nd fill sherry butt for at least six months, before being bottled at natural cask strength. The result is a big, very robust and well-sherried Orkney single malt, with a very rugged, drying and salty sherry profile, underpinned by a gentle thread of Orcadian peat smoke. Old school and hugely characterful Orkney single malt!"
About the Old Orkney Brand
"Very early on in the Decadent Drinks story, Angus had the idea to see if he might be able to buy the historic, but long dormant, Old Orkney brand. AKA: 'Double O'. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The reason for this is that one of the big influences upon Angus' approach to bottling and branding, was the old 'Double O.O.' brand. It was originally the bottling brand of Stromness Distillery on Orkney, which sadly closed in 1928. After that time the brand quickly fell into dormancy and was used only very sporadically in the intervening decades."

Producer Description
"The fourth bottling in our occasional but cherished Old Orkney series is a 1999, 25 year old Orkney malt that has spent the majority of its life in plain refill wood, then the final six years of its maturation in a very, very old 1st fill, ex-bodega, oloroso sherry butt. The result, bottled at natural cask strength, is a richly sherried example of very mature Orkney single malt, that leaves all the wonderful distillery character intact, but decorates it in great detail with some beautifully intricate and old school sherry characteristics. This one is deeply earthy, gamey and rich, with gentle peat smoke, waxes, hessian and nicely savoury, salty notes. A beautiful dram and a wonderfully old school example of sherried Orcadian single malt."

Angus' Notes
"This devilishly delicious double O.O. dram for one of our friends at The Sindicate Club in Canada. A combination of a 1998 vintage Refill Hogshead which has been 'top dressed' with some Orkney malt from a 1999 vintage First Fill Sherry Butt. These two components were married together in the Refill Hoggie and the resulting heady brew was bottled with a few degrees of reduction at 53% to help bring balance to the final 17 year old malt. The result is a waxy and richly-peated example of Old Orkney, with some savoury, earthy richness from the subtle sherry influence. a whisky to make you go 'O.O.LALA!"

Producer Description
"Named Best Spirit in the World in the Spirit Journal, on two separate occasions, the intense balance of the flavours found in VIKING PRIDE owes everything to our five traditional keystones of production, honoured for over 220 years. Slow-burning, aromatic peat from Hobbister Moor; hand turned floor maltings, Sherry seasoned European oak casks, cool maturation in our temperate island climate and a long and unhurried harmonisation process. Like our founder, Magnus Eunson, we share our Viking ancestors’ commitment to skilled craftsmanship as well as their proud, independent spirit."
Highland Park, the northernmost of Scotland's distilleries, dates back to 1798. Definitely an island style with typical smokiness, but with elements of a classic single malt that include a smoothness, roundness and heather-honey accent all its own. Very capable of developing to great ages, the distillery is now making available some older vintages which display considerable depth and richness. Consistently one of the best single malts in the world. Heather & honey on the nose, w/ hints of sap, peat, smoke & fresh oak. Lightly salty on the palate with layers of flavor. Amazing finish.
