40 years. We all agree - that's quite a long time. 40 years is also how long all five of the whiskies in this Tasting Set were matured for before bottling. A frankly frighteningly delicious selection of well-matured whiskies to be had here.

- Deanston 40 Year Old

- Teaninich 40 Year Old 1973 (cask 20236) - Tantalus (Duncan Taylor)

- Invergordon 40 Year Old 1977 (cask 13278) - The Sovereign (Hunter Laing)

- Glenfarclas 40 Year Old 1976 - Family Collector Series VI

Complete with a tasting notes booklet for each dram.

Please note: Occasionally, we do need to make changes to Tasting Sets, so contents are subject to change. However, please be assured that whichever set you order will contain 5 superb samples which will be of an equivalent value to what is listed.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Dark, gleaming amber with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany, a sunlit caramel glow that hints at decades in cask.

Nose

Elegant, time-worn bouquet of polished oak and honeyed grain, with dried fig and raisin, toffee-caramel and citrus zest. Vanilla and spice weave through leather and a whisper of smoke, with deep, dark fruit hints, all echoing decades of patient maturation across these 40-year malts.

Palate

Silky and deeply layered, the palate opens with honeyed orchard fruit, dried fig and raisin, touched by orange zest. Rich cacao, toffee, and spice drift through polished oak, never heavy but impeccably balanced. A long, refined finish of leather, tobacco, and subtle sweetness lingers with warm polish.

Finish

An extended, graceful finish that lingers with refined oak, honey, and a whisper of dark fruit. Vanilla warmth gives way to subtle spice and malt, deepened by a coastal hint, and slowly fades into a warm, contemplative glow that invites another sip.
