30 Year Old Whisky

The 9th Port Ellen Annual Release is the first official 30yo and a definite return to form after a couple of 'mediocre' releases.
MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER PERSON!

A 'Very Old' bottling of 30 year old Ardbeg with the old-style black label. Supplied without its wooden box.

A bottling of 'Very Old' Ardbeg, matured for at least 30 years, with the old style black label and presented in a dark wooden box.

Originally released around 2000, this great dram is becoming rarer and rarer. Laphroaig 30yo has garnered many plaudits, including a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2005.

Thirty year old Macallan is a rare and rarefied whisky. The time spent maturing in carefully selected European and American oak casks which have previously held Sherry or Bourbon creates a rich, intense liquid, with a deep colour achieved wholly naturally through the interaction between spirit and wood.

An old bottling of old Oban from Cadenhead's, distilled in March 1963 and bottled in April 1993.

The first entry in Diageo's Special Releases series for Brora, a mainstay since 2002. This set the high standard that the releases are now known for and is almost unanimously rated at over 90 points by the Malt Maniacs.

An old Ardbeg from the days when they still ran their own on-site maltings. Bottled in 2003 by Douglas Laing for their Platinum Selection range. "Top notch again as expected" according to Serge Valentin on Whisky Fun.

An old cask-strength Ardbeg 1974 bottled from a single cask for the Italian market in 2004.

The 2003 release of 1973 vintage whisky from short-lived Glen Flagler, bottled after 30 years of maturation by Inver House. The distillery only operated between between 1964 and 1985 and this bottling is some of the last remaining stock known to exist.

An old release from the Balvenie Vintage Cask series of whiskies. This 1970 whisky has been matured for 30 years and is one of only 310 bottles of this single cask release.

A rare 1973 single cask bottling from Balvenie, one of only 309 bottles released from the cask. Distilled on 21st May 1973 and bottled on 28th April 2004, just shy of its 31st birthday.

Nicknamed 'the seadragon' due to the mythical beast adorning the rather pretty black ceramic bottle and box, this 30 year old Bowmore appeared in the mid 1990s and has achieved almost mythic status itself, being made up entirely of long-aged casks from the legendary 1960s vintages. A magnificent dram, bursting with rich tropical flavours - one of the all-time classics from this distillery.

A very rare single cask Glenfiddich from the 1968 vintage, bottled at its natural cask strength of 49.2% some time around the late 1990s at over 30 years of age.

The oldest official Lagavulin ever released, this caused a storm when it came out a couple of years ago.
ONE BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER

A 1972 Brora bottled by Douglas Laing for The Whisky Shop in the early 2000s after 30 years of maturing in a sherry cask.
