In a Scottish warehouse somewhere, a whisky cask filled around 2008 has spent nearly 20 years doing nothing but getting maturing into something better. That patience is what an age statement stands for, and the 14 to 18-year-old whisky range is where it pays off, with sherry depth, orchard fruit and rum-cask sweetness all settling into a richer, rounder whisky. Here is a look at 5 aged whiskies under Rs 30000 in Delhi and Mumbai including The Dalmore 15 Year Old, Glenmorangie 18 Year Old, The Singleton 18 Year Old, Glenfiddich 18 Year Old and The Balvenie 14 Year Old whisky. Notably, these are all single malt whisky bottles and they are available in most spirit retail stores as well as online.
