Single Malt
Glen Spey // Speyside, Scotland
Released as a special, limited edition in 2010 along with the Auchroisk 20 year bottling, this too is cask strength and un-chill filtered.
Glen Spey is a little known single malt as there are few distillery bottlings made available; it is primarily used as a malt for J & B and Johnnie Walker.

Tasting Notes
"There are lush honey notes, coconut, and red fruits found with this whisky. On the mid-palate, you'll find some maple vanilla and mint. There is a slight amount of smoke, but more so from the charred barrels than peat. A touch of water really opens up this whisky quite nicely for a great after dinner treat."
