Single Speyside Malt 21 Year Old, Sherry Cask, 1973, Scottish Independent Bottlers Company Ltd., 40%

Speyside is undoubtedly the heartland of malt whisky distilling, producing whiskies of great elegance and style. This particular malt falls into the darker, more sherried category, with an orange-brown colour. In flavour it is a big, fairly smoky malt with a long, dry finish and a rich, mellow taste of dark chocolate.
