Description

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by Phillip 'Pip' Hills who, while travelling around Scotland in the 1970s, fell in love with whiskies drawn straight from the cask. After convincing some friends to buy a cask of Glenfarclas he expanded his syndicate and in 2004 the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie PLC. It has a unique code system where the first number refers to ...

Nose
Opening with aromas which conjure up the Great British Bake Off - Apple turnovers, cream buns, vanilla icing, chocolate cake and digestive biscuits. In the background some earthiness – part soils, part mineral like wet slate. The addition of water heightens the chocolate note, adds rich toffee and allows a touch of grassiness to escape – light, fresh, green and newly cut.
Palate
Fresh and crisp with zesty citrus (particularly limes), chocolate and a hint of Ovaltine. Bakery notes translate across to the palate well with both biscuits and butter cream adding flavour and a sense of weight to the liquid. The cask influence can be detected in the mid to back palate with vanilla essence and light pepperiness starting to make themselves known. A few drops of water softens the fruits and adds both ginger and some leafiness – mosses and lichen.
Finish
Medium in length and quite woody – vanillins and warming pepper fading in sharp, metallic minerality. This Speyburn is a refreshing summery dram that is very spirit driven until the back palate and finish, where the cask starts to take command. Overall it treads a fine line, but manages to retain its sharp and character throughout.
