30 Year Old Whisky

The 8th release of Diageo's revered Brora 30yo is, in our opinion, one of the greats. Gorgeous fruit, with much less emphasis on smoke & peat this time.

A 30 year old Port Ellen from Ian Macleod's Chieftain's range. Distilled in 1982, bottled in 2012 and released shortly after Diageo unveiled their own Port Ellen Special Release for the year. A few lucky people got to try this at The Whisky Show 2012 leading to some excellent reports.

A release of cask strength, single cask Aberlour whisky. Distilled in 1975 and matured for 30 years, this is one of the oldest whiskies that we have seen from this distillery.

A 1982 vintage release of Port Ellen whisky. This whisky has been matured for 30 years in a refill hogshead and bottled at cask strength. Bottled by Douglas Laing for their Platinum Selection series.

'Rich and complex, this unfolds slowly and has richness, balance, texture, sweet waxy fruits and a lift of smoke. Some package. 9/10' Dave Broom, Whisky Magazine April 2004

A fabulous cask strength expression of Linlithgow aka St Magdalene, this was part of the Diageo super premium 'Special Releases' from 2004. Beautiful grassy, fruity Lowland malt whisky with real depth.

A fabulous release from Diageo from a distillery that, on this evidence, should never have been closed. Heather, luscious malt and perfectly weighted peat - a masterpiece.

Diageo's third release of 30 year old whisky from Brora, Bottled in 2004 at a cask strength of 56.6%. These 30 year olds are all fantastic and this is one of the best of the bunch.

An Old Malt Cask release of 1969 vintage Glen Scotia, bottled at the turn of the millenium after 30 years of maturation.

An unboxed version of the Dungourney 1964, a special whisky bottled from a cask that Barry Crockett found when wandering the warehouses in 1994 - it had been distilled 30 years earlier by his father and then missed off the stock lists when they moved distilleries in the 1970s...

The 6th bottling of Brora 30yrs from Diageo is another classic 1970s-style Brora, and standards are just as high as ever, with overt citrus and medicine cabinet notes. This is yet another fabulous release from this much-lamented extinct distillery, scoring 93 points from Whiskyfun's Serge Valentin.

A very special Bruichladdich Valinch 1970, bottled at full strength from a bourbon cask to celebrate the first distillation of the re-opening of the distillery in May 2001.

This Bruichladdich Valinch is a single cask release of 1970 vintage whisky. Bottled to celebrate the first distillation of the re-opened Bruichladdich Distillery in May 2001. Bottled at cask strength and limited to just 250 bottles.

A very special 1973 vintage whisky from Dalmore distillery. This whisky has been matured for 30 years and has spent time being finished in sherry casks which previously held Gonzalez Byass Sherry.

A very special whiskey from Irish Distillers, bottled from a cask that had been missed off the stock charts when they moved distilleries in the 1970s - a 1964 vintage whisky found and bottled in 1994.

An extra-special Ardbeg from Douglas Laing, bottled at natural cask strength to let the juicy peat and sweet spiciness express itself fully.

The 9th Port Ellen Annual Release is the first official 30yo and a definite return to form after a couple of 'mediocre' releases.
