24 Years Old Whisky

Browse our whisky database by the age of the whisky. The 'age' of a whisky is the time it spent in the 'cask' before being bottled. The longer a whisky remains in the cask, the more flavour it will acquire and the less spirit will remain.

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 10 years old will always be a 10 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 whiskies may be older than the stated age. However none of the whiskies will be younger.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenlivet 24 Years Old, 2.35
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.00% 7 A heavily sherried whisky that is nonetheless surprisingly lively for its age.

Adelphi Port Ellen 1975, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.00% 8 Seems to have faded slightly with age.

Whisky Magazine - Editors Choice - Winner

Ardbeg Provenance, 1974, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.60% 9 Rich and creamy, with huge flavour development.

Cadenhead's Banff 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.30% 6 The best Banff I have tasted. Shows its age but the finish reveals real depth and staying power.

Cadenhead's Caperdonich 1977, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Heavily sherried. Rich and full-bodied but the distillery character is hidden by the wood. For the sherry fanatic.

Cadenhead's Imperial Glenlivet 1977, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.60% 7 A robust whisky that deserves more exposure.

Chieftain's Choice Brora 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Elegant and highly individual. Takes no prisoners.

Chieftain's Choice Imperial Speyside 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 One for the palate and not the nose.

Chieftain's Choice Port Ellen 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.40% 8 Complex stuff going on here. A really rewarding Port Ellen.

Dewar Rattray Highland Park 24 Years Old Single Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.30% 8 Decent enough, and the palate is lovely, but somehow you expect more after 24 years in the cask.

Douglas Laing Dallas Dhu 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 7 Much more herbal than other bottlings of Dallas Dhu.

Glen Garioch 1979, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.10% 8 Some Glen Garioch are sometimes dismissed on account of their 'tartan and stag' packaging, but this is a serious whisky and deserves to be treated as such.

Old Malt Cask Ardbeg 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 Full of flavour and complexity, but less challenging than some Ardbegs. More peaty than the bottling reviewed among new releases. Some woodiness.

Old Malt Cask Port Ellen 1978 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 This one blew up a storm for me.

Old Malt Cask St Magdalene, 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 5 If this was in a better cask it would have been a rather pleasant whisky.

Port Ellen 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.30% 8 Very well balanced, this expression has enjoyed a great relationship with its cask.

Rare Malts Brora 1977 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.10% 8 Lively, fruity, refreshing. Distinctive. Does the 19th hole at Brora serve sushi?

Rare Malts Convalmore 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.90% 8 The second good Convalmore I have tasted. It was not highly rated in its lifetime, but could win friends now.

Signatory Straight from the Cask Port Ellen 24 Years Old, Burgundy finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.80% 8 Lots happening here. A complex and highly unusual expression of Port Ellen.

The Whisky Shop Port Ellen 1978 24 Years Old, Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Bring on the pizza Napoletana (or if you are in Naples, the Romana).

Wemyss Vintage Malts Sea Smoke (Caol Ila)
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 4 A beautiful wintery outdoor dram. Reminiscent of Islay on a dricht (dull) day with the warming scent of peat fires.

Yamazaki 1984 24 Years Old
Single Malt - Japan - 48.00% It's as if all the tastes have been turned up to max.
