Gold color. Aromas and flavors of Scottish fudge, cocoa nibs and butterscotch, dried and spiced cherries, and grilled and spiced pineapple with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, breezy finish that exhibits accents of cinnamon and nutmeg spiced sugar plums, figs in toffee, poached pear, and leather and honey roasted mixed nuts. Oh wow, that is something special and tasty; luxurious on the nose and full of flavor.

Speyside refers whisky made by the 50+ distilleries near the river Spey in the Scottish highlands. These distilleries are noted for their use of refilled, ex-Sherry casks in the maturation of their whiskies. The Sherry casks imparts telltale fruit and nut tones to the final whisky.
