Old Orkney, Old Islay, Benrinnes, Mortlach (Decadent Drinks)
Here's our timely review of some of Decadent Drinks ' releases. We start with an Old Orkney and Old Islay, from the new Island series . Then there are two Decadent Drams: a deeply sherried Benrinnes 1997 and a bourbon-influenced Mortlach 2005. Old Orkney 8 yo 2016 (47%, Decadent Drinks 2026, bourbon + sherry casks) Nose: quite a vegetal start, with musty leaves. Bay leaves and subtle mint. Later it opens up towards dried apricot and raisins, along with some vanilla and yellow apple. Some sea spray, heathery notes and lemon peels. Just a mild sooty note and black pepper in the background. Mouth: richer fruity sweetness, with more dried fruits, hints of charred pineapple and stewed apples. Now more coal smoke as well, as well as burnt herbs and a salty hint. Then honey and earthy touches. Still a lot of leafy notes too.

Kanpaikai & Antelope: Bunnahabhain, Mortlach, Springbank…
The Antelope (Macao) and Kanpaikai (Japan) are good friends. A lot of their bottlings are shared. They have good taste, both in selecting whisky and designing labels - I love the Japanese influence.I already tried some of their joint bottlings while I visited WhiskyShine in Macau . Today we're looking at four recent releases from Bunnahabhain, Mortlach, an undisclosed Skye distillery and Springbank. Impressive. Bunnahabhain 45 yo 1979 (46,8%, Kanpaikai & The Antelope 2025, refill sherry butt #8056, 222 btl.) Nose: a lovely old style, the sherry is not intrusive at all. Full of tobacco, old polished wood and worn leather, cardemom and subtle whiffs of broth. The savoury note is balanced by flashes of fruits like dried berries and apricots. Then cigar boxes, elegant herbs and a wee hint of smoke. Mouth: just as nice. Dried herbs, more cigar boxes and leather, along with oranges and raisins. Walnuts, drops of Chartreuse, some mossy hints and Darjeeling. A light smokiness again, but
