A beautiful, classic example of Speyside Single Malt Whisky with a hint of mystery.

The Lundie family has been dealing is Scottish Whisky since 1904. William Lundie & Co. was founded initially as R. D. Lundie & Co. in 1932 by Robert (Bobbie) Lundie — brokering and trading Whiskey across the UK. In between big wholesales deals, they would find spare barrels of high-end Whisky and create private and independent bottlings. This practice goes on to this day. In 2004, the company was acquired by J&G Grant — owners of the Glenfarclas Distillery in Speyside.

The Lismore line includes a collection of Single Malts and Blended Scotch Whiskies produced by William Lundie & Co. The thing is, the Lismore line is famous for keeping the origin of their spirits a closely-held secret. But we can make an educated guess or two. Lismore 21 Year Old is proudly labeled as a Speyside Single Malt aged a full twenty-one years. And this perennial favorite has long been suspected to be sourced from either Glenrothes or Glenfarclas. Since J&G Grant owns both Lundie AND Glenfarclas, we think we know the answer (wink wink). But this is a classic, superbly-aged, and mysterious Speyside Single Malt at a killer price for the age and quality.

I had originally tried its "yo...

I had originally tried its "younger (less pricy) brother" - and got hooked. Decided to "up my game" and grab the 21 yr - and it was WELL worth the purchase price.
Recommend opening and decanting before tasting. Decanting makes a VAST difference in its flavor/notes rather than "poor from the bottle" taste.

It's Alright, I Guess

Looks like someone just dropped a rating and dashed! No comment provided.

I've had a four samples of it ...

I've had a four samples of it so far and I've given up trying to figure out if it is good or not. It is the most disappointing scotch I've had- the nose is faint-to-nonexistent, the taste faint and thin. I had it last night and I ate a piece of mild cheddar and couldn't taste the scotch at all. Now I'm eyeing a bottle that might take years to get through to get to the best part of the purchase - the decanter.
