Glen Spey Daresbury Park Hotel Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a subtle copper glow.

Nose

Gentle, inviting, the nose opens with orchard fruit, honeyed vanilla and a waxy richness. Sherry influence reveals dried fig and raisin, toasted almond and cocoa, balanced by creamy oak. A hint of citrus zest brightens the bouquet, finishing with warm spice and a refined, lingering sweetness.

Palate

Silky, mouth-coating entry from Glen Spey unfolds into bright orchard fruits and honeyed sweetness. Sherry influence lends sun-dried raisins, fig and a wisp of cocoa, tempered by orange zest. Light oak frames a creamy texture with gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—leaving a rounded, comforting warmth at 43% ABV.

Finish

Silky, long finish infused with sherry sweetness: dried fig, orange zest, and toasted almond unfold on velvety oak; a whisper of dark chocolate and spice lingers, warming the palate into a refined, persistent finale.
