Scotland's Oldest Whisky Has Been Released After 84 Years of Maturing in Casks
A rare and exclusive single malt Scotch whisky has just been released by a Scottish distillery, and it is the oldest whisky ever bottled.
The whisky was distilled in 1939 at the Glenturret distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. It was then aged for 84 years in a combination of American oak and sherry casks before being bottled at 50.7% ABV.
The whisky has a deep amber color and a rich, complex flavor profile with notes of honey, toffee, dried fruit, and oak. It has a long, lingering finish with hints of spice and smoke.
Only 159 bottles of this exclusive whisky were produced, so it is a real collector's item. It's also very expensive, with each bottle retailing for around £20,000.
But if you're a fan of rare and luxurious whiskies, then this is definitely one to add to your collection.
