Ardbeg 1980 Kildalton
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.60% 7 Where's the peat-smoke? Not very Islay.

Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A big powerful bruiser.

Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Just lacks a little length. Not as pure as the 74, but I like its weirdness.

Blackadder Blairfindy 1980 Raw Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.60% 7 Those flavours in mid-palate afford a glimpse of a delicious malt but the wood is very dominating.

Cadenhead's Bladnoch 1980, 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 7 Slightly lean. Where is the fruity softness of Bladnoch?

Cooper's Choice Inchgower 1980, Sherry Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Mature. Complex. A little woody for sure, but plenty of pleasant things going on elsewhere in this contemplative dram.

Dewar Rattray Caperdonich 1980 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.10% 7 A shy little furry woodland creature peeking out, then hiding again.

Duncan Taylor Knockando 1980, 23 Years Old, Cask 1913
Single Malt - Scotland - 47.00% 7 Knockando is always a well-mannered whisky, although this expression seems a tad tired.

Glenturret 1980 Limited Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.20% 8 More rounded, and longer, than the 1972.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.60% 7 A wake up dram. Not a great deal of complexity but an enjoyable fruitiness to make you think of springtime.

Gordon & MacPhail Mortlach 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.80% 7 A lovely digestif whisky.

Highland Park Single Cask Bottle for Park Avenue Liquors 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.00% 8 Very satisfying flavours.

Laphroaig 27 Years Old Vintage 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.00% 7 An acquired taste. Some will like it, but it's too woody and nothing on the 1974 bottling by la Maison du Whisky.

Mortlach 1980, 17 Years Old, Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.10% 7 A big, rich interpretation; an outstanding digestif.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society Yamazaki 1980, White Oak Cask, 119.1
Single Malt - Japan - 50.90% 8 Elegant, and more flavoursome than Suntory bottlings I think.

Signatory Glenlossie 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Delicate, appetising and refreshing, but falls away in the middle.

Yamazaki 1980 Japanese White Oak Cask
Single Malt - Japan - 58.00% 7 The most herbal and spicy of these three bottlings, and the most distinctive.

Yamazaki 1980 Vintage Malt
Single Malt - Japan - 56.00% 8 Big but balanced. Shows complexity.
