Old Orkney Malt 16 Year Old 2006 - Edition No.3 (Orkney Sponge & Decadent Drinks) | 700ML

From an unnamed Orkney distillery, this single malt was distilled in 2006 and matured for 16 years in a single hogshead before being bottled in 2022. This is edition number three of the Orkney Sponge range by Decadent Drinks, which is named as a nod to the self-declared front-line whisky news source, Whisky Sponge! Only 342 bottles of this single malt Scotch were produced.

Old Orkney Malt 16 Year Old 2006 - Edition No.3 (Orkney Sponge & Decadent Drinks) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet melon and hints of wet oak, more woody notes like drift wood, creamy salty aromas carry through the nose including, apples and truffles, lemon and soft lime notes, some stem ginger and mild herbal notes.

Palate: Soft brine notes, tangy citrus with hints of lemon and grapes with a touch of toasted oak, some light banana and honey drizzle, shortbread with a touch of coconut flakes with a little hint of lemon meringue and sour candy, soft sweet smoke adding a nice tone across the mid and late palate, some crispy apple and ginger adding more vibrancy to this rather tempting dram.

Finish: long, more floral now, still very mineral, and still with this nicely balanced peat smoke and coastal freshness.
