This expression is from the Speyside whisky region.
The declared age on a whisky label refers to the number of years the youngest whisky in the bottle spent maturing in oak casks. In the case of this Scotch Whisky from Dufftown that is 8 years. The bottling strength of this whisky is 40% which is at the lower end of the scale for whiskies. Although these days many consumers are pushing for producers to bottle closer to 43% or 46% there are still some fine lower strength whiskies.
