Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep golden-amber with luxurious copper tones and a subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Aromas of rich sherry-nurtured fruit: fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with velvety vanilla and toffee. Toasted oak and gentle malt introduce cocoa notes, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—lifts the perfume into a refined, resinous sweetness.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a citrusy sweetness and luxurious vanilla. Orchard fruits mingle with honey, while sherry cask influence brings dried fruit, almond and a whisper of spice. The finish unfolds slowly—warm, refined, and subtly nutty, with lingering oak and a soft, noble glow.

Finish

The finish lingers with velvet warmth, a sherry-spiced coat of dried fruit and spice. Long and polished, notes of fig, raisin, almond, and orange zest mingle with cocoa and oak, a whisper of cinnamon fading to refined sweetness.

Speyburn
(Spey-BURN) Speyburn was founded in Rothes in 1897 by John Hopkins, who built the distillery beside the Granty Burn and brought in Charles C. Doig to design a three-level site that worked with the steep valley rather than flattening it. Production began in time to fill the first cask before the end of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee year, and the distillery later passed to Distillers Company Limited in 1916. Speyburn then closed during the Second World War, when the site was used to house Scottish artillery regiments, before reopening in 1947.
