North Star Orkney 17 Year

Which Orkney distillery does this originate from? Scapa or Highland Park? It is probably HP sauce, but... hmm.
Regardless, the whisky was distilled somewhere in the Orkney Isles in January 2007. It was matured in an Oloroso Hogshead and bottled at 17 years old and 57.9%. 302 bottles total.

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."
Old Orkney Malt 25 Year
$729.99
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."

Highland Park Cask Strength Heather

Producer Description
"Cask Strength Heather is a new special edition single-malt that has been crafted with 100% peat-smoked barley to offer the most vibrant expression of Orkney heathered peat. This whisky is a playful, aromatic twist on the signature Highland Park taste, bottled at cask strength."
