Special features: This Glen Spey from the Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition is a fascinating example of the art of independent bottling. With an aging of nine years in 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts, it shows a harmonious blend of fruitiness and nutty aromas. The high bottling strength of 57.1% gives it an intense character that appeals to both connoisseurs and explorers.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh fruits, accompanied by a subtle nuttiness and delicate malt notes, underscored by the sweetness of the Oloroso Sherry.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex, flavors of dried fruits, honey, and spicy nuances unfold, culminating in a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and warming, with an echo of dried fruits and a fine oak note that rounds off the enjoyment.
Distillery/Bottler: Glen Spey is one of the lesser-known distilleries in Rothes, valued for its high-quality single malts since its founding in 1878. Although the distillery has never stood out with its own bottling, independent bottlers like Signatory Vintage have made it their mission to showcase the uniqueness of these whiskies and bring their story to life.
