15 year old whisky

A 15 year old whisky is one whose youngest component has spent at least 15 years in the cask. The bottles here cover the spread: sherried malts such as Glenfarclas 15 and Tamdhu 15, coastal ones like Old Pulteney 15, peated releases including Bowmore 15 and Smokehead 15, and Irish pot still whiskeys such as Redbreast 15.

Fifteen is a step up from the standard 10 or 12, not a promise of better. Prices for the same bottle can differ widely between shops at this age, so compare offers, and check the 12 year old page for the younger equivalents.

What does 15 year old mean on a whisky?
The youngest whisky in the bottle has spent at least 15 years in the cask; older whisky may be in the mix too. For Scotch this is a legal rule under the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, and it applies to blends just as to single malts. The age counts cask time only: it stops at bottling.
Are there 15 year old blends?
Yes. Blended Scotch 15 year olds exist alongside the single malts, and the age rule is the same: every whisky in the blend, malt or grain, is at least 15 years old. Dewar’s 15 Year Old is one example.
