10 Year Old Whisky

For peat-lovers, Ardbeg 10yo is probably the highest-quality 'entry-level' single malt on the market, and the distillery many Islay connoisseurs would choose as their favourite. A whirlwind of peat and complex malty flavours.

A fantastic glass pack containing Benromach's 10 year old whisky and Benromach branded Glencairn glasses, all held together in a black presentation tin.

Macallan 10yo Fine Oak is matured in a combination of Bourbon & Sherry Oak Casks. The Fine Oak range has been around for a few years now and seems to have weathered the storm it caused amongst the faithful when it was initially released.

Matured exclusively in oak sherry casks from Spain, Macallan 10yo is a deep, rich, deliciously smooth and well-rounded flavour with a slight sweetness and touch of sherry and wood. Its deep colour is achieved wholly naturally without the addition of any colouring.

A curious Edradour 10yo, bottled by independent bottler Signatory - who own Edradour. We're not sure why they've chosen to bottle this as part of the Un-Chillfiltered collection instead of as an official bottling (answers on a postcard). Nonetheless, it looks interesting - there's no info on the cask type, but at this colour for a 10yo, and with 908 bottles, we're guessing this might be from a sherry butt.

A bottle of Glenmorangie's excellent 10 year old Original, perfect for giving as a gift. It comes in a great gift box, along with 2 branded whisky tumblers.

The only distillery bottling of Glenlossie, other than a Manager's Dram. Almost all of their whisky goes into Diageo's blends, which is a shame as this is a classic spicy speysider.

The unpeated malt from the producers of Ledaig, Tobermory hails from the Isle of Mull and is a more gentle medium-bodied, accessible malt than its peated sister. A good aperitif malt.

An old bottle of the Glenmorangie 10 year old whisky. This appears to have been produced during the 1990s.

An introductory malt from Yamazaki, Japan's oldest distillery (founded in 1923). This is mild-mannered, clean, sweet malt, charming and very accessible - Speyside fans looking to try a Japanese malt should start here.
