I believe there is a time and a place for all whiskeys. This speyburn tastes best right after a long days work. It doesn't offer up the most complex palette of flavors, but rather calmly disapates floral and malt notes as you unwind from your day. There is no need to add ice or water as there is almost no heat. What I love most about this whiskey is it doesn't demand attention, it takes a back seat and likes being there.
