This is a curious Highland Park, a marriage of a First Fill Sherry Hogshead from 2005, with a Refill Sherry Hogshead from 1997, bottled after 20 years (the age of the younger component) and 55.5%. 89.47pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"There are many ways to Whiskyland - but, like these two befuddled Vikings, most people have to first get lost in order to find their way here. Whiskyland Chapter Sixteen is a marriage of a 2005 1st fill sherry hogshead of Highland Park, with a 1997 refill hogshead of Highland Park. The resulting 20 year old grog, bottled at natural marrying strength, is a magnificent, multi-vintage take on classical, mature Highland Park distillery character, with a subtle drenching of sherry. So, lash up your sails for a storm, christen all your weapons with names like 'Bone Squelcher', 'Skull Mangler' and 'Thighroid Dispruptor', grab a few nosing horns and pray to your preferred assortment of imaginary Gods that you wash ashore on one of the stretches of Whiskyland coastline that is well-served by hostelry and at least three star accommodation."

This mystery Orkney malt, bottled under the Old Orkney label, was distilled in 2005, and bottled at 58.7% after 19 years in a Refill Hogshead cask. Almost certainly Highland Park!
Producer Description
"A special bottling of Old Orkney malt whisky, selected to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our friends at Heads & Tails Spiriits and the official opening of Boutique Audio Gallery. This is a straight up, single cask, cask strength Orcadian malt whisky distilled in 2005 and bottled without any interference whatsoever. It's a whisky for distillate geeks, for lovers of old school spirits and for audiophiles who like something pure, potent and dazzling to sip while they listen in granular detail to their favourite recording artist taking subtle intakes of breath."

52.9% - 2003 Refill Hogshead / 1999 First Fill ex-Bodega Sherry Butt
89.18 points Whiskybase
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."

50.3% - 1999 - Matured in "plain refill wood" and finished 6 years in a First Fill ex-Bodega Oloroso Sherry Butt. 91pts Whisky Fun
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."
