Decadent Drinks Old Orkney Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old
In stock
Ever since Decadent Drinks was just a twinkle in Angus’ eye, the company has always wanted to have a delicious, very reasonably priced core range bottling. One thing it has learned over the years doing independent bottling is that it’s much harder to find really good quality at lower price points than at higher ones. That’s why Decadent Drinks never rushed to do cheap bottlings just for the sake of it. The team always wanted to wait until they found the right liquid at the right price and, most importantly, the right quality before offering a core product.
This is the result of that approach: an 8 year old example of the beloved Old Orkney brand. This is Orkney single malt, matured in a mix of refill ex-bourbon and ex-sherry American oak butts and hogsheads, bottled at an immediately quaffable 47% and exhibiting ease, charm, evocative Orcadian personality and, most importantly, pleasure. Delicious whisky for sharing and quaffing without too much thinking and with an easy price tag to match.
