16 Year Old Whisky

A Cadenhead's bottling of 1967 vintage Inchgower. Distilled the year after they doubled their capacity to 4 stills and bottled in the mid-80s after 16 years of maturation.

The rare 1981 vintage Rosebank Flora & Fauna, bottled in 1997 as one of the select few whiskies in the range to get a cask strength version.

A legendary whiskey, produced at the now defunct Michter distillery, closed since 1988. This one was distilled back in 1974 and is much sought after by those who share its birthday.

Bottled at 50% for a whisky retailer at some stage around the turn of the millennium, this rare Port Ellen was selected by Burn Stewart distillers and has no declared vintage but was bottled at 16 years of age.

A 1962 whisky distilled at Glenburgie distillery, aged for 16 years and bottled by Cadenhead.

A legendary bottling of 16yo sherried Oban, bottled at its remarkable cask strength of 64% under the Managers Dram label for UDV staff only to celebrate the distillery's bicentenary in 1994.

An old style Connoisseurs Choice bottling of Glenugie, distilled in 1966 and bottled 16 years later.

A 16 year old Aultmore bottled to celebrate the distillery's 100th anniversary. It's a rare limited edition release and comes in at an eye-watering 63% abv. From the colour, it's probably safe to assume this was from a sherry cask.

A 1970 vintage Port Ellen, bottled at 16 years old by Gordon & Mapchail under their Connoisseurs Choice label.

A very rare 1980s bottling of 1970 Port Ellen bottled by Gordon & Macphail for the little seen but very well respected Intertrade indie bottler. Bottled at a very high strength for a malt of this age - this should be epic.

An amazing bottle of liquid Irish history - the George Roe brand itself was over 170 years old when its Thomas Street Distillery closed in 1923. Allegedly it took a few years before everything was bottled and sold; this 16 year old release of Geo. Roe seems to have been produced for export to the US sometime in the 1930s. Most remarkably of all, the label proclaims this to be 'pot still malt whiskey', making this an incredibly rare Irish single malt from a distillery closed for nearly a century

A lovely old bottle of the ridiculously rare Kinclaith, this is from the 1966 vintage and was bottled in the early 1980s at 16 years old for the Connoisseurs Choice series by Gordon & Macphail, who have labelled it as a Highland malt despite the fact that Kinclaith was made in Glasgow at the Strathclyde complex.

A very nice, quaint old 1970s bottle of Tamdhu 16yo, bottled at 43%.

A 16 year old whisky from Longrow, distilled in 1974 and matured entirely in sherry casks.

A sherry cask matured 16 year old Longrow from 1974, closed with a cork stopper.
