Old Orkney O.O.1 2009 Single Cask 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This is the first bottling of Old Orkney and the first proper and official use of this brand since it adorned a blended Scotch whisky in the 1990s.

Decadent Drinks has always loved, and been inspired by the original Old Orkney brand. That’s why, for this first proper Old Orkney bottling, they've recreated an original, and rather obscure, old advertising poster from around the 1900s as the label.

The whisky in this bottling is an Orkney single malt distilled in 2009 and matured in 1^st fill bourbon barrel for 13 years. We bottled it at 50% to give a properly balanced, accessible and clear impression of this whisky’s beautiful and evocative Orcadian peaty and coastal character.

1st Fill Bourbon Barrel ABV 50%
Nose: wonderfully crisp and aromatic peat smoke full of wee fresh coastal details. Seashore pebbles, green herbs, heather flowers and gorse all abound.
Palate: hugely drinkable at this strength. Dry, crisply peaty, delicate heather honey sweetness and a wonderful, intricate peat smoke full of herbs, citrus and chalk.
Finish: long, well-balanced, honeyed and rigorously peaty.
