Spey 18 Year Old Limited Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 200ml

SPEY 18 Year Old Limited Release is a mature Speyside single malt produced at Speyside Distillery and bottled at 46% ABV. This specific 200ml release was distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2016 after 18 years of maturation in sherry casks. Limited to 1,500 bottles, it delivers a rich, fruit-led style with orchard fruits, raisins, walnuts, vanilla and creamy fudge balanced by dark chocolate and mature oak. Bottled without chill filtration and presented at a robust 46%, this small-format release offers a concentrated expression of SPEY’s sherry-matured character. 

Food Pairing: Pair with dark chocolate, fruitcake, walnut tart, crème brûlée, aged cheddar, roasted nuts, or dried fruits.

Tasting Notes: Rich and fruity with apples, pears, raisins and berries layered with walnuts, vanilla, fudge, cream and bittersweet dark chocolate.

Nose: Ripe orchard fruit, raisins, berry fruit, walnuts, vanilla and creamy sweetness.

Palate: Sweet and rounded with apple, pear, fudge and vanilla, developing darker notes of chocolate, dried fruit and gentle oak.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped whisky glass. Add a few drops of still water to open the sherry-derived fruit and soften the oak
