Berry's Own Selection Caol Ila 26 Years Old, 1984
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.70% 8 I prefer this neat, but whatever your preference, this is an exceptional Caol Ila.

Blackadder Ben Nevis 1984 Raw Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.20% 7 Extraordinarily red colour. The sweetness is almost overwhelming. The ultimate dessert whisky.

Bruichladdich 1984 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A more familiar Islay style, with plenty of pep.

Bruichladdich Redder Still
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.40% 7 A plump fruity number.

Caol Ila 1984 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.00% 7 Awake up dram. Fresh,vibrant,wide open on the sea horizon. Bring bacon and eggs.

Chieftain's Choice Littlemill 1984, 18 Years Old Rum finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 I have always rated Littlemill more highly than most tasters do, but stocks are getting past their best.

Cragganmore 1984 Distillers Edition, Ruby Port Finish, 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Connoisseurs might miss the austerity of the original – or enjoy the added layer of fruity, winey, sweetness.

Dewar Rattray Longmorn 1984 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00% 7 Very pretty and summery. A good antidote if you feel you might be turning into a phenol-guzzling loony.

Douglas Laing Bowmore 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 Bowmore is a great malt. Let's see more of it in straightforward ages.

Glenfarclas 1984 Plain Hogshead
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 7 That whisky struggles to stand out among a flight of big sherry guys, but it is worth enjoying. Though we could have expected more character from a 27 Years Old whisky.

Hakushu 1984 White Oak Cask
Single Malt - Japan - 61.00% 8 Its edgy assertiveness might bother aesthetes but I warm to a whisky that knows its own mind.

Littlemill 1984, 18 Years Old, Chieftain's Choice
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 The rum finish is very sympathetic towards the natural flavours of Littlemill, but the combination never quite delivers what it promises.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society 7.51 Longmorn Sweet, Rich & Fruity 1984 26 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.40% 8 Balanced and fine. Worth a look.

Signatory Caol Ila 1984
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 An excellent example of Caol Illa, a highly distinctive malt that is gaining in recognition.

Tomatin 1984
- Scotland - 22.00% 7 Maybe lacks the extra spark that makes it complex but a delicious sweet dram nonetheless

Yamazaki 1984
Single Malt - Japan - 63.00% 7 A huge whisky but overwhelmingly fruity and alcoholic.
