“The flagship Old Malt Cask series was launched in 1998 and quickly became known amongst connoisseurs as an umbrella for whiskies of the highest quality. Twenty five years later we continue to offer the finest casks from our family cellars under the Old Malt Cask brand, still bottled at 50% alcohol and of course without artificial colouring or chill-filtration.
To celebrate a quarter of a century of Old Malt Cask single malts we have selected twenty five expressions to be bottled in the brand’s original, iconic, green and gold presentation. These Twenty Fifth Anniversary releases are drawn from across Scotland’s signature whisky producing regions and reflect the varied selection of Malts which have appeared under the Old Malt Cask banner. As ever with the Old Malt Cask range we offer them to you with confidence and pride.”

Part of the Old Malt Cask range by Hunter Laing this single cask from the Islay distillery Caol Ila bottled to celebrate the 25th Anniversary series of Old Malt Cask.
Matured for 13 years in a single Oloroso Sherry Butt this is 1 of only 769 bottles! Invariably bottled at 50% strength to maintain drinkability, each new expression is non-chillfiltered to ensure that the personality of each cask remains.
At the tip of the tongue, Stewed fruits, dark chocolate transform into the aroma of a campfire, light leather. The lingering finish leaves a delightful and satisfying dark fruits, ginger, lemon peel, Islay peat smoke, and toasted oak.
