Description

This is the fourth release in the Old Orkney series from independent bottler Decadent Drinks. Distilled in 1999 and aged for 25 years, this single malt spent the majority of its life in refill wood before a final six-year maturation in a very old first-fill ex-bodega oloroso sherry butt. Bottled at natural cask strength, it offers a richly sherried profile with preserved distillery character.
