Speyburn 10 year old, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A sweet, creamy dram matured mainly in bourbon casks and some sherry casks. The nose has honey, vanilla, flaked coconut, lemon biscuits, and apple Danish pastries. Vanilla fudge, lemon bonbons, white chocolate, toffee, sweet oak, and cracked peppercorns continue the sweet flavor profile as it melts into butterscotch sauce and crème brûlée at the swallow, with vanilla seeds on the finish It’s impossible not to like it.
