Spey Tenne (Port Cask) Single Malt

This item is archived.

Spey is the name the Speyside distillery is newly marketing their single malt under, to avoid confusion with the broader region. Matured for 8 years in Ex-Bourbon barrels, the Tenne, which is Scots Gaelic for "Tawny", is finished for 3 months in freshly emptied Tawny Port Pipes. Bottled at 46% un-chill filtered without added colouring.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: soft, fresh and fruity, macerated dried fruits, earthy tones and dunnage warehouse notes; some citrus, floral and chocolate notes.

Palate: very fruity, dark and leathery with some candied fruits and Maroccan marmalade; still earthy and musty from the port, it becomes darker and spicier with a pronounced maltiness.

Finish: long and nutty with prominent port wine notes shining through late leather and tobacco.
