50 Year Old

The Next Chapter

A testament to the power of new beginnings and a reminder that it is never too late to embark upon the next chapter, this rare 50-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky is complex, rich, and mature but with a vibrant fresh energy too.

Shipping & Returns

"Dense and seamless on the nose, with creamy toffee and hazelnut, leading into a formidably structured palate of dried apricot, leather and spice, plus savoury notes of rancio. A rich and robust blend with Bourbon cask evident on the nose, Sherry cask on the palate."

Richard Woodard

Decanter Magazine

"Distilled in 1972, this resinous, waxy dram slept in European and American oak for forty years before being transferred to a first fill American oak cask for a ten year ‘finish’ – the result is a revitalised combination of caramel, orange pastille sweets and honeyed almond."

Alex Mennie

Luxuriate Life

"Taking us back to 1972, this liquid was aged in a combination of European and American Oak casks; marking a brave new chapter through a ten-year secondary finishing period in active ex-bourbon barrels. Such a process is irregular and so adds vigour to the otherwise weighty blend."

The Finer Details

Distilled in 1972 and initially aged to near perfection in a combination of European and American oak, this 50-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky embarked upon a brave new chapter through a fifteen-year secondary finishing period in active ex-bourbon barrels. Such a process is unusual but has added fresh vigour to the already weighty blend – a testament to the power of new beginnings and a reminder that is never too late to embark upon the next chapter. This release is offered at a natural cask strength, free from added colour and chill filtration.

Secondary maturation in active ex-bourbon casks.
Offered at a natural cask strength.

Nose

Demonstrating layers of complexity and richness, on the nose, there is dense toffee sweetness punctuated by subtle floral notes shining through at the top.

Palate

The palate is vibrant and lively with a creamy, rich mouthfeel and highlights of Seville orange and marmalade leading to an exceptionally long-lasting, sweet citrus finish.
