Oldest Whiskey
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest whisky in the world is believed to be a bottle of Glenavon Special Liqueur Whisky. With the closing of Glenavon Distillery in the 1850s, it is estimated to have been bottled between 1851 and 1858, making it roughly 160 years old.
Scotch Whiskey
Speaking of the oldest type of whiskey ever released, Scotch holds the crown. Scotland’s whisky production is decades ahead of other countries’ distilleries. Hence, it’s not surprising that Scottish spirits lead the list of the world’s oldest whisky ever released. The longer the whiskey has been aged, the more flavor and depth it exhibits.
Limited Run of Single Grain Scotch Whiskey
This limited run of single grain scotch whiskey is one of the oldest whiskies at over 50 years old. The Sovereign was aged in a refilled bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength, 49.2% volume by the Cambus Distillery which was founded in 1836.
