No wonder we at Vintage Bottlers are highly delighted to be able to offer this 29-year-old rendition of a Speyside classic as the second in our series of 'secret' single malt whiskies. A revered, historic name among malts ever since the distillery became the first legal still along its stretch of the river in 1824. The fact that the whisky has been in almost continuous production for nearly 200 years speaks volumes for its unchanging virtues and a loyal following that now stretches around the globe.

Against a hint of background smokiness, toffee and toasted marshmallow dominate the palate, while a long, dry, velvety finish culminates in a further caramel sweetness. The whole adds up to a deeply satisfying, gently warming spirit, the result of the lantern-shaped stills with their long, narrow necks.

For some, the Spey means one of the world's finest salmon and trout rivers. But for malt aficionados, it is surely no coincidence that the Gaelic name is Uisge Spe. By far the greater part of production at the distillery, near Ballindalloch, is marketed as a single malt, the remainder being used as a vital component of owner Pernod Ricard's portfolio of blends. The malt is the second best-selling globally, and number one in the USA.

This 29-year-old exemplar of the renowned Speyside tradition has already become a firm favourite with us, and we look forward to sharing with you a sublime showcase of the distiller's art.

Colour: Pale Lemon

Nose: Creamy vanilla with secondary notes of burnt sugar

Palate: Overwhelmingly confectionery with a blend of sweet toffee and toasted marshmallow

Finish: Long, dry and velvety with very end note of further caramel sweetness

More of a Speyside classic. Very smooth, oozing warmth. A highly satifying ‘comfort’ whisky during a difficult winter!

Good delivery times, a very good dram just a slight hint of peat that suits my wife's palate more. Overall with the discount it's well worth it.

I’m still learning about Whisky. I’ve sampled cheap blended whisky. Then tried 10,12,14 year old single malts. But sampling a 25 year old whisky 🥃 I’m getting it. So, so smooth. Such a lasting taste and satisfying experience

Customer photo review of Annandale - 5 Year Old (Unpeated)

Great colour but only a gentle aroma. Given the cask strength I added a few drops of water and whisky stones to give a really deep and complex flavour.

I really like the quality of product and packaging but the emails arrived some days before the parcel.

My brother is the tippler. He seemed rather fond of it.

Benriach 14 Year Old

It was a well packaged surprise and the contents were excellent! Very much enjoyed by whisky buffs as a late night snifter.

Maiden's Blend Tasting Pack x4

Whisky was sharp and harsh when drank neat. When added ice it has mellowed down. But the harshness was overpowering any other notes in this bouquet.

Maiden's Blend Tasting Pack x4

Excellent idea to have a small taste kit to get involved in and a sample of, thanks Paul

Maiden's Blend Tasting Pack x4

Arrived just in time for Burns Night and working my way through it gradually. Cracking whiskies, with a long, lingering and delicious after taste. I've hidden it from my wife!

Maiden's Blend Tasting Pack x4

The samples had quite of quite an abrasive taste, which took quite some getting used to. It definitely had a west coast profile.

Maiden's Blend Tasting Pack x4

A lovely ,delicate whisky which has complex flavours and a long finish.

Mannochmore - 10 Year Old

Quick and efficient service. Delivery within 36 hours.

Benriach 14 Year Old

Delivery was delayed and did not arrive until August 6th. This was to be given as a birthday gift on the 5th, although the recipient still received his gift albeit a day late he was delighted with his gift. I was the one that was disappointed that the gift arrived late.

Benriach 14 Year Old

Product has only just arrived. Presentation is excellent and I am looking forward to opening the bottle with my sons.
