Glen Spey Single Highland Malt Whisky (1980's Bottling) 8 Year Old

Colour

Pale gold with subtle honey-tinted highlights and a whisper of sunlit amber.

Nose

Fresh orchard fruit—green apple and pear—paired with lemon zest and vanilla. A delicate sherry lift adds dried fruit, almond, and a touch of spice, while polished oak and honeyed sweetness whisper a refined, old-Highland profile.

Palate

Silky and elegant, the palate carries honeyed orchard fruit—apple and pear—alongside dried apricot and raisin. Vanilla cream and toasted almond mingle with a hint of cinnamon and cocoa nib, kept buoyant by gentle oak. A subtle sherry note deepens mid-palate, finishing with refined warmth, spice, and a lingering touch of orange zest.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with sherry-influenced fruit—dried fig and raisin—over silky malt. Cocoa, almond and a hint of spice linger, wrapping the palate in a warm, refined glow that slowly fades.
