23 year old whiskies

All the whiskies listed on this page are 23 years old (they have spent 23 years in the cask). Whiskies of this age are maturing well and will be devloping deeper, longer and richer flavours.

The age of a whisk(e)y is determined by the length of time it has spent in the cask before being bottled. Once the whisk(e)y has been bottled the aging process stops. A whisk(e)y bottled at 23 years old will always be a 23 year old whisk(e)y even in a hundred years. By then the vintage of the whisk(e)y would still make it a rare and valuable item.

When dealing especially with blends, but also with single malts, some of the whisk(e)y may be older than the stated age. However none of the whisk(e)y will be younger.
