A Cult Mature Highland Release
Produced at Loch Lomond distillery and bottled as Old Rhosdhu for Decadent Drinks’ Whisky Sponge Edition No.67, this 29 year old Highland single malt represents one of the more unusual and increasingly collectible modern independent releases. Distilled in 1993 and matured in a refill oak hogshead before bottling in 2022, the release captures the distinctive fruity and textured character associated with older Old Rhosdhu expressions.

About the Bottling
The Whisky Sponge series by Decadent Drinks has become one of the most recognisable independent bottling ranges in modern Scotch whisky, pairing highly individual cask selections with intentionally unconventional artwork and presentation. Beneath the playful design lies serious whisky selection focused on spirit character, maturity, and individuality.
Older Old Rhosdhu releases have developed a cult following among enthusiasts due to their distinctive fruit-driven and textural profile, particularly when presented at high natural strength through independent bottlings. Mature examples from the early 1990s have become increasingly difficult to source in limited single cask form.
