20 Year Old Whisky

A 20 year old single cask whisky from Highland Park, distilled in 1991 and bottled at cask strength by Mackillop's in March 2012.

A 1992 vintage whisky from Littlemill, aged for 20 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead and bottled in 2012 by The Whisky Agency for their Liquid Lab series.

A 20 year old single cask Bunnahabhain bottled by Douglas Laing as part of their shiny Directors' Cut range. Distilled in December 1991 and bottled in December 2011 after sitting in a refill hogshead.

A 1992 vintage Longmorn from the Douglas Laing Directors' Cut range, distilled in September, matured for 20 years in a refill hogshead and bottled in February 2013.

A 20 year old Port Dundas from 1990, the first grain whisky to be part of Diageo's yearly Special Releases range. This has a bit of history, starting with 3 years in bourbon casks before being 'finished' for a further 17 years in new European oak, first fill bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

An exciting release for Diageo's 2010 Super Premium releases - this is the first mainstream officially bottled Auchroisk since the demise of the original Singleton range at the turn of the century.

A very pleasant appley, biscuity dram from an unheralded distillery that closed its doors in 1993 after only eighteen years of existence. We were suprised at the quality of this Pittyvaich, which wears its twenty years very lightly.

A 20 year old whisky from Macallan, bottled by Douglas Laing for their prestigious Directors' Cut range. Distilled in November 19092, matured in a refill hogshead and bottled in February 2013.

The second 20yo Glenkinchie bottled for Diageo's Special Releases is, like the first, a small batch from refill American oak casks. This is an equally enjoyable dram, in our opinion a bit better, although it definitely needs a drop of water to get going.

A jug shaped decanter of Mackinlay's Deluxe blend, made from whiskies aged for at least 20 years.

Please note that there is some slight damage to the wax seal of the bottle. However, there are no signs of leakage and the item is still sealed.

A frequently-overlooked bottle in Glenlivet's Cellar Collection, perhaps as it remains one of the youngest of the series (even at 20 years old). This is sterling stuff, nonetheless, described by Jim Murray as 'sophistication and attitude rolled into one'. With the finish adding nuance rather than dominating the palate, this is a minor classic of the genre.

A powerful cask strength 20 year old single malt from the Yoichi distillery that previously bested some very high-profile Scottish malts at a blind tasting in 2003 and received 95 points in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.

Another addition to the 105 family, a series of whiskies bottled at a powerful 105 proof. We've already seen the 'No Age Statement' and the 40 year old, and now we have a whole new malt to enjoy. The 20 year old looks absolutely stunning! We'd be surprised if this malt wasn't as popular as its predecessors. MAX 2 BOTTLES PER PERSON
