Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale golden straw with a warm amber glow.
Nose
Orchard fruits—green apple and pear—rise with honeyed vanilla and delicate toffee. A kiss of almond and cedar adds warmth, while whispers of dried fruit and a subtle sherry note linger in the background, lending elegance, depth and a gentle spice.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, this Speyburn unfolds with ripe orchard fruits—pears and apples—lifted by honeyed citrus and a touch of vanilla. Subtle spice blooms into creamy toffee and almond, while a delicate sherry-tinged warmth adds depth. The finish is refined and lingering, with dried fruit, cocoa, and soft oak echoing long after the last sip.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish releases honeyed vanilla, pear and citrus zest, supported by soft malt and oak. A delicate spice—cardamom and almond—lingers, leaving a warm, creamy echo that fades into velvet dryness.
