Another from the seemingly inexhaustible supply of outstanding old Glen Grant bottlings from indie bottling heroes Gordon & Macphail. These surely must represent the best value old single malts on the market.
A 25 year old release of Benromach. It was made part of their core range once production under Gordon & Macphail had settled down in the early 2000s, although the spirit was distilled during the reign of the previous owners.
An unfairly-neglected 25 year old official bottling of Speyburn bottled at a good drinking strength of 46%. We're surprised more people haven't caught on to this whisky, particularly after it scored a whopping 92 points from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2011.
A 1986 vintage whisky from Glen Garioch, revitalised in the 2000s and now getting the recognition that it deserves. This was aged for 25 years in a refill hogshead before bottling in late 2011 by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range.
A terrific value whisky for a malt of its age, Tomatin 25 is pleasingly rich with citrus and soft fruit notes and a smooth, complex palate. Everything an aged Speyside whisky should be.
From the Nectar of the Daily Drams comes this rare expression of the often-overlooked Glen Elgin distillery, aged for a venerable 25 years and bottled at its natural strength of 43.8%.
