Speyside – FIRST FILL Sherry Cask – No Smoke – Cask Strength – Natural Colour
The Speyside Distillery produces a super elegant and light spirit- a classic example of the region it has named itself after. Paired with the most classic style of sherry maturation- first fill oloroso. This is a classic combination which never disappoints.
The Speyside Distillery is a tiny distillery nestled in the hills behind Kingussie near Aviemore. It’s production is small and they only recently began to offer tours which is fantastic as it is one of the most picturesque distilleries in Scotland. They craft a couple of different spirits but this is their headliner, un-peated, light, fruity, and uber elegant. The spirit is has been dressed in the finest of woods- first fill oloroso.
The fragrant spirit is very comfortable in the sherry, holding it’s own against the strong flavour profile that first fill oloroso sherry offers. We are delighted to present this to you as a single sherry cask, un-chill filtered, and of course at natural colour.
Why The Name?
It’s a classic combination, perhaps THE most classic combination; un-peated Speyside in first fill sherry cask. I would challenge anyone not to enjoy this dram. Fragrant and fruity spirit from the Spey, rich and unctuous oloroso sweetness, and delicate spice imparted by European oak. Speyside spirit wears sherry very well- it’s a tailored fit!
