Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich aromas of dark fruits like plums and dried figs, with hints of chocolate, roasted nuts, and a subtle touch of leather. A whisper of spice from cinnamon and nutmeg rounds it out beautifully.

Palate

A full-bodied, mouth-coating experience with notes of raisins, caramel, and dark chocolate. The Oloroso sherry influence is unmistakable, bringing warm spices, a bit of espresso, and a slight balsamic sweetness.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of oak, orange zest, and a hint of tobacco. A delicate touch of spiced honey remains present for an extended period.

Glen Spey Distillery

Glen Spey Distillery is located in the town of Rothes, in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. Founded in 1878 by James Stuart, a former manager of Macallan, Glen Spey has a rich history in whisky production. The distillery was taken over by W&A Gilbey in 1887, bringing stability and growth to the distillery.

A unique feature of Glen Spey is the use of so-called "purifiers" on the stills, which therefore produce a lighter and purer spirit. The distillery uses water from the nearby Doonie Burn, which contributes to the purity and quality of their whiskies. Glen Spey whiskies are known for their light and delicate flavour profiles, with notes of apple, pear and a subtle spiciness.

The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a smooth and balanced flavour. Glen Spey produces mainly for blended whiskies, including J&B, but their single malts are also appreciated for their finesse and complexity. The combination of a picturesque location, innovative techniques and high-quality production makes Glen Spey a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
