Orkney Sponge Highland Park 1998 No.001
$889.99
Producer Note
"Introducing... Orkney Sponge! Our mash up of the Whisky Sponge and Old Orkney brands because we're into that kind of fun and nonsense! Edition OO1 is a 1998 refill hogshead of 23 year old Highland Park. It has been bottled at natural cask strength of 57.0% and has a surprisingly peaty and almost old style HP profile with plenty dry herbal and medical notes with loads of coastal freshness. Just the style we adore from this, one of our favourite distilleries. Old Orkney was, of course, the brand associated with Stromness back before the distillery sadly closed in the 1920s. It was way ahead of its time in terms of funny and witty advertising and super elegant, cool branding. It has long been an inspiration for what we've tried to do with Sponge, which is why we went out of our way to buy the brand. Orkney Sponge is our first wee experiment at having some fun with Old Orkney."
Whisky Sponge Knockdhu 2006 Ed. No. 63
$329.99
Producer Note
"This is a single refill hogshead of 2006 16 year old Knockdhu. It's also very peaty and quite ridiculously pale, pure and razor-sharp. A singular and almost ideological style of whisky. The original cask strength of this one was up over 67%. Once we'd found a glass that didn't dissolve on contact with the sample, we played around with water and various strengths for ages before settling on 55% as delivering the most balance between raw peat ashes, frothy seawater, lemon juice drizzled directly over your tonsils and having pickled green olives fired at you from a blunderbuss. Why not sip it casually while playing a few rounds of BogSponge3000 down the arcade..."
