Usquaebach 15 Year Old is a blended malt Scotch whisky, a marriage of fine Highland single malts aged at least 15 years, some as old as 20, in oak and sherry casks, bottled at 43% ABV.
When purity and strength are desired, this beautiful yet robust Scotch delivers powerful aromas and intense richness. Recognised throughout the whisky world for its quality, the 15 Year Blended Malt has won numerous accolades, including a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition.
Sherry casks lend dried fruit and spice while the long-aged Highland malts bring depth, honey and oak.
A long-standing classic among blended malts, it makes an elegant gift.
Enjoy it neat or with a drop of water.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
Usquaebach takes its name from the Gaelic uisge beatha, the water of life, from which the word whisky itself derives.
A blended malt combines single malt whiskies from more than one distillery, with no grain whisky, giving the blender a wide palette to build depth and balance.
Highland malts are known for a broad range of styles, from rich and fruity to honeyed and lightly smoky, which suits a long-aged blend.
Bottled at 43% ABV, it stays smooth and approachable while keeping its richness.
Fifteen years in oak softens the malts and builds layers of honey, dried fruit and spice.
