Old Orkney 8 Years Old 2016 - Decadent Drams (Decadent Drinks)
This is an 8-year-old Old Orkney bottled by Decadent Drinks as part of the Decadent Drams range. Matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry American oak butts and hogsheads and bottled at 47% ABV, this ongoing release delivers coastal charm without shouting about it. Expect heathery smoke, waxy citrus and that gentle peppery peat that feels more windswept harbour than bonfire night. Only 306 bottles in this batch.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Soft peppery peat smoke with lemon rind, coastal air, light herbs and a touch of honeycomb.
Palate
Waxy and gently oily with heather honey, coal smoke, sea spray and drying herbal peat.
Finish
Good length with salty tang, savoury pepper, lingering smoke and a final flicker of wax.
