SINFULLY SEDUCTIVE: At 59.5% this 8 Year Speysider is still very 'seductive' coming from a 1st Fill Barrel.

Panel's Tasting Note: "Attractive perfumes made the nose sinfully seductive; elderflowers, daffodils, white grapes, lemon and pepper, floated like pretty clouds over luscious landscapes of cereal. With water, we found it spritzy, fresh and clean; fruit salads of pineapple, strawberry, peach, pear and grape on beds of vanilla custard. The immediate palate was deliciously sweet (iced doughnuts, dried fruits) with entrancing orchard flavours (Williams pear and delicate blossoms made us long for Spring), but besides that, we also encountered zesty lemon sorbet, magnificent malt, subtle wood, peppery spice and (believe it or not) salty leather. An amazing, lip-smackingly tasty dram from Dufftown’s oldest distillery." -

Drinking Tip: "Not very typical of the make - could be an aperitif for the first picnic lunch of spring."
