28 Year Old Whisky

A great example of 1980s Clynelish, bottled by Speciality Drinks Ltd as part of the Single Malts of Scotland range. Lots of red fruit, the traditional Clynelish candle wax and a tasty dose of spicy wood. Maximum 1 bottle per customer.

A 1982 vintage Dufftown bottled at 28 years by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range. While Dufftown is starting to make an impact as a single malt, it's still rare to see independents as most of production goes into blends, mainly Bell's.

A single cask bottling of 1983 vintage Caol Ila from veteran wine and spirits merchant Berry Brothers & Rudd. This was matured for 28 years and bottled in 2011.

A Berry's release of 28 year old single cask whisky from Caol Ila, distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2011 at cask strength.

A 28 year old single cask whisky from Clynelish, up on the north east coast of Scotland near the town of Brora. This was distilled back in 1982, just before Clynelish's sister distillery (the late lamented Brora) closed down and has been bottled by Douglas Laing as part of their Old Malt Cask range.

A 28 year old bottling of Macduff by Direct Wines as part of their First Cask series. Distillery bottlings of their whisky go by the name of Glen Deveron.

A bottling of 1982 vintage whisky under the name of Linlithgow, the alternative title for the now closed St Magdalene distillery. This is a single cask bottled by Mackillop's at cask strength in April 2011 after 28 years of maturation.

A single cask bottling of the obscure (and long-defunct) Glen Mhor, whose original site is now famously occupied by a supermarket after the distillery was demolished in the mid-1980s. Another of Signatory's enigmatic 'Wine Treated' barrels.

A Signatory bottling of Glenisla, an experimental malt whisky distilled at Glen Keith using lightly peated malt and distilled heavily peated water. Slightly mad and very rare.

A 1982 vintage whisky from closed distillery Linlithgow (aka St Magdalene) bottled in mid-2011 by Signatory as part of the Cask Strength Collection. This was matured in a wine treated butt and has a rather pokey bottling strength of 63.1%.
