A Speyside Distillery 18 Year Old – Cadenhead's Original Collection

Single Malt Scotch Whiskey – Speyside – 46%

This 18-year-old Speyside single malt was bottled in 2022 by Cadenhead's , Scotland's oldest independent bottler. As the name suggests, the distillery deliberately remains anonymous , a choice Cadenhead's often makes when contractual agreements require it. Quality is always paramount.

The whisky was matured entirely in bourbon casks , ensuring a pure expression of the distilling style and a beautiful maturity after 18 years of cask aging. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered , and with no added color .

This is a classic, mature Speyside in its purest form: no wine or sherry influence, no smoke, just balance, depth, and drinkability. The extra years of aging give it peace, roundness, and complexity without becoming heavy.
