Highland Single Malt 2008 / 14 Year Old / Oloroso Finish / Single & Single Highland Whisky – Characterful Quality at a Great Value

Discover a distinctive Highland single malt with plenty of personality, bottled by the independent whisky specialists at Single & Single. This 14-year-old expression, distilled in 2008 and presented at 52% ABV, offers a rewarding balance of rich cask influence and bright Highland character. It is a bottle made for whisky drinkers who want something memorable, well presented and full of flavour without stepping into an unnecessarily expensive price range.

As part of Single & Single’s Alter Ego range, this release celebrates the individual character of younger single malts. Rather than relying on a familiar, mass-market style, it gives the whisky room to show what makes it different. The result is an engaging dram with a clear identity, making it an excellent choice for exploring the qualities of independently bottled Scotch whisky.

Why This Highland Single Malt Belongs in Your Collection

• 14 years of maturation: A well-developed age that brings added depth while keeping the whisky lively and approachable.
• Oloroso cask influence: The finish adds tempting dried-fruit richness and a gentle nutty character.
• Powerful 52% ABV: A higher strength that delivers a fuller flavour experience and allows you to enjoy the whisky neat or with a few drops of water.
• Independent bottling: A carefully selected release from Single & Single, created to highlight the character of the individual malt.
• 70cl bottle: A classic size for sharing, gifting or enjoying gradually at home.

Aromas of Dried Fruit, Nuts and Cherry

The first impression is inviting and richly scented. On the nose, salted cashews bring a savoury, lightly toasted note, while sultanas add soft sweetness and a touch of dried-fruit warmth. Cherry brings a bright, juicy edge that keeps the aroma fresh and balanced. Together, these notes create an appealing introduction that promises depth without feeling heavy or difficult to understand.

The Oloroso influence helps give the whisky its generous character. This style of cask is well known for complementing whisky with notes of dried fruit, nuts and gentle richness, and those qualities come through clearly here. The result is a dram that feels satisfying and layered, yet remains easy to appreciate whether you are new to single malt whisky or already have a well-stocked cabinet.

Made for Relaxed Sipping

At 52% ABV, this Highland malt has enough strength to stand out in a whisky collection. Pour it neat to enjoy its concentrated flavour, or add a small splash of water to open the aromas and soften the finish. It is also a versatile choice for a quiet evening, a tasting with friends or a thoughtful whisky gift for someone who enjoys discovering independent releases.

The whisky’s combination of age, cask character and bottling strength makes it a smart option for drinkers looking for more than an ordinary everyday dram. You get the pleasure of a mature single malt, the interest of an Oloroso finish and the individuality associated with an independent bottler, all in one attractive 70cl bottle. It offers a chance to enjoy a special-feeling whisky while keeping the purchase sensible and considered.
