SPEY Cask Strength Tenne ABV 57.4%
Initially aged in bourbon casks, this bottling has been finished in the Tawny Port casks from the family run winery, Quinto de Filoco, for 6 months. A limited release of 1500 individually numbered bottles. Bottled at 59.5% (batch 1), non chill filtered and with no added colouring.
Tasting Note
Deep claret colour, almost opaque. On the nose, concentrated fruit notes along with jam & red wine are evident. Despite being bottled at cask strength, the texture is still light, with distinct sweet and fruity flavours in balance, and working well with the higher strength spirit.
Adding a few drops of water unlocks some of the more delicate flavours & aromas, and adds further complexity
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Through woody tannins comes dried fruit, toffee apples, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Palate: Black Forest gâteau, almonds, and oak spice with some silky caramel throughout.
Finish: Long and full of rich spice and jammy fruits.
