15 Year Old Whisky

A 15 year old whisky from Glenburgie, complete with label featuring some of the distillery workers (or some people dressed up to look like them).

Released in 2005, a couple of years after owners Angus Dundee had bought this little-known distillery, this landmark 15yo was the first official bottling of Glencadam for many years, with most of its previous output going into Cream of the Barley and Ballantine's.

A little-seen older expression of Cutty Sark, skilfully blended from a broad selection of malt and grain whiskies aged at least 15 years. Citrus fruit, nuts and some pruney sherried notes.

Fancy new presentation for the Glencadam 15, which has also sensibly been restored to 46% by owners Angus Dundee, who snapped up the distillery from Allied in 2003.

A 15 year old whisky from Inchmurrin, until 2013 a rarely seen name on a label. It's a lightly peated spirit from Loch Lomond, full of spice and salty caramel.

A 1997 vintage Clynelish from Berry Brothers and Rudd, matured for 15 years, packed with fruit and with a hint of smoke.

A sweet and rounded 15 year old dram from Glengoyne, made using air dried barley and about as unsmoky as a whisky can get. It's a rich mix of 1st fill sherry and bourbon matured whisky, rounded out with some refill casks.

A 15 year old whisky from Aberlour, the Select Cask Reserve was originally a release for the French market but we've managed to grab a few bottles.

Introduced to the Glendronach range in 2011 the 15 year old Tawny Port finish continued the distillery's new owner's plans of taking the bourbon matured whisky from the old owners and bringing it more into line with their idea of the traditional taste of Glendronach. This one has spent the last few years of its time in cask in Tawny Port casks, picking up lovely red fruit flavours.

A favourite expression in the Dalmore stable, this 15-year-old is elegant and smooth, with lipsmacking texture and the flawless balance one would expect from blending maestro Richard Paterson.

Our first ever Craigellachie for Single Malts of Scotland is a very fudgey, buttery number from the 1994 vintage. Sweet on the nose, with a spicy bite on the medium-bodied palate.

The latest in the indefatigable Bruichladdich 'Links' series. This celebrates the famous Valhalla course in Kentucky, designed by Jack Nicklaus.

The Bowmore Darkest has flourished since it gained a 15 year-old age statement. The sweet sherry notes take precedence over the peat here.

A 15 year old whisky from Clynelish, vatted from a pair of hogsheads and bottled by Signatory for their Un-chillfiltered Collection. The spirit was distilled on 25th June 1997 and was bottled on 29th August 2012.

A 1997 vintage Clynelish by independent bottlers Liquid Sun. This has been matured for 15 years in a refill hogshead before being bottled.

1L travel retail version of an old Bowmore favourite.

Balvenie 15yo Single Barrel is always a complex proposition, the higher alcohol content giving the malt a bit of extra muscle, although the rich, fruity distillery character is still very evident. This thinker's dram was a winner at the World Whisky Awards 2010.

A 15 year old peated Bunnahabhain from Signatory. Distilled on December 11th 1997 and bottled un-chillfiltered from a marrying of 6 casks on January 18th 2013.
