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

Ardbeg 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.10% 4 Ardbeg is one of my great favourites, and this is one of the best versions I have tasted recently.

Balblair 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 The Balblair bandwagon continues.

Berry's Own Selection Glen Elgin 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 By today's standards, an unusually peaty Speysider.

Berry's Own Selection Glenlivet 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00% 7 This is a big mean mother whose youthful charms have been lashed into submission by oak.

Connoisseur's Choice Dailuaine 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Characterful. Individualistic.

Connoisseur's Choice Glenlossie 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Again, rather dried out. Lacks roundness and structure.

Cooper's Choice Longmorn 1975, 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Complex, as Longmorn always is, but I wonder about the cask.

Dewar Rattray Dufftown 1975, 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 With some Dufftowns you are glad when you've had enough. This is a well-made example which has been matched by very good bourbon wood.

Dewar Rattray Glencadam 1975 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.40% 8 A dazzling quality you only get when cask and spirit have been in a long slow dance.

Dewar Rattray Strathmill 1975 31 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.30% 7 The wood has taken charge. Doesn't appear to have the character to carry extended aging.

Dewar Rattray Tomintoul 1975 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.50% 7 Slightly angular. Not a lot seems to have happened.

Dun Bheagan Convalmore 1975 28 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Ascetic. Complex. Cosmopolitan.

Glenlivet The Coopers Choice Single Cask Selection
- Scotland - 46.00% 7 Somehow manages to be light in character but deep in weight.

Gordon & MacPhail St Magdalene 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Typically lowland, with a nice progression of sensation: sweet, malty then zingy.

Mackillop's Choice Tomatin 1975, Cask 4
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.20% 7 Perhaps because the distillery was built to make quantity, as a filler, the industry seems universally – but unfairly – to deny the possibility of Tomatin making a truly interesting single. I coul...

Murray McDavid Mission II Glenlossie 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A rare chance to taste Glenlossie but, again, the wood gets in the way.

Murray McDavid Mission Royal Brackla 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 An especially rich sherryish bottling. Voluptuous. With the afterdinner chocs.

Old Malt Cask Tomatin
- Scotland - 50.00% 7 Lovely. Has retained freshness (or taken a long time to get here.

Rare Malts Dufftown-Glenlivet 1975, 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.80% 8 Pale in colour but by no means anaemic in flavour. Has matured a lot since it was 15.

Rare Malts Millburn 1975, 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.90% 7 A grizzled old character, but gains points for resilience.

Rarest of the Rare Mosstowie 1975 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.10% 7 Tempting nose, the palate is somewhat tougher. A good example of classic bourbon maturation. Pleasant.

Signatory Bowmore 1975 Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.80% 8 Has mellowed with age. I missed the more assertively maritime characteristics in some younger Bowmores.

Signatory Linlithgow 1975
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.50% 7 Good for its age, but I preferred it two or three years ago.

Springbank 1975 Limburg Whisky Fair
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.20% 8 Astonishingly citric.

Talisker 1975, 25 Years Old, Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.90% 9 Less instantly explosive than the regular 10. The flavours in the 25 are more tightly combined and take longer to unfold. You pays your money...
