Description

Located in a tight little glen opposite Glen Grant, Speyburn started operation in 1897 and was one of a number of distilleries designed by local architect Charles Doig . One of the few distilleries still using worm tubs, Speyburn was pretty much unchanged since its creation in 1897.

Nose
Rather classic on vanilla with interesting hints of banana. Some wood spices and sawdust, but not much else beyond the alcohol heat. With water, it becomes more creamy, or rather dosed with caramel and fudge.
Palate
A chocolate covered banana continues some senses from the nose. It is perhaps a tad too simple, and one could wonder why this was made a distillery exclusive. Very clean stuff.

Finish
Nice, spicy bit on the finish. Clean, pristine single malt whisky that is not far removed from the blended whisky category.
