With a no-age-statement whisky, no age is indicated on the bottle. Often producers choose not to disclose age when an older whisky is supplemented by younger ones. After all, according to the rules, the age must always be the youngest whisky in the blend, which is not desirable when the bulk in the blend is older (and therefore more valuable). Conversely, one can also choose not to mention age, when predominantly young whisky is diluted with a small amount of (very) old whisky. In that case, the product is often marketed at a higher price, and to justify that high(er) price, a choice is made not to mention an age (which would otherwise be the youngest in the blend).
