The Whisky Agency H&T Speyside 1989

This item is archived.

This "mystery Speyside" single malt is a joint bottling between The Whisky Agency and Heads & Tails, Canada. The whisky is allegedly a lightly-peated Balvenie... Distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2018 at 29 years of age and 47.6%. 

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very honeyed, creamy and tropical; melons, guava and assorted freshly peeled citrus fruits; a touch nutty, shelled peanuts and pistachios; vanilla cream and a hint of faint smoke.

Palate: creamy, honeyed and surprisingly malty for its age; more tropical tones: loads of freshly peeled citrus fruits, guava, mango, kiwi and green melons; silky, soft vanilla and decadent sugars; becomes oily and a tad earthy, there is a faint hint of soft smoke and a touch of coffee bean.

Finish: toasty, silky, creamy and elegant; very fruity, decadent and layered; coating it comes in soft subtle waves fading out slowly.

Comment: Igor hit it out of the park with this one... this is an absolute gem; peated Balvenie eh!
