A permanent core range release from the Speyburn distillery in Speyside, first released in the mid-2000s. Matured exclusively for a minimum of 10 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks. An approachable and classic introduction to Speyside single malt, very comparable to similarly aged, more commercial “Glen” distilleries from the same region, but without the additional marketing levy. Bottled at 43%.
Nose: Fresh orange, delicate cinnamon and red apple.
Palate: Hints of toffee and butterscotch with fresh apple pie.
Finish: A long, sweet finish.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 3 reviews.

"A straightforward, no fuss and deliciously drinkable Speyburn. This is humble, yet brilliant drinking Whisky that still maintains its Speyburn DNA is so wonderfully balanced and will appeal to all tastes and palates. At the price point, worth a case in my opinion!"
— Alex W. (5/5)
"Classic Speyside, great value for money. Elegant fruit notes, one dimensional in a good way. Flavour delivery doesn't falter. Get a bottle, get two."
— Chris (5/5)
"This is what I imagine Speyside whiskies to taste like, lovely and fresh, vibrant with all the characteristics I look for in bourbon cask maturation. The hint of sherry really balances this one out. Always have a open bottle on my shelf going forward."
— Gary (5/5)
