The Spey Tenne Selected Edition Tawny Port Finish is a distinguished single malt whisky from the esteemed Speyside Distillery Co., nestled in the heart of the Speyside region, which is often considered part of the eastern Highlands of Scotland. The distillery, situated near Kingussie, has a rich history that began as a small farmhouse and grain mill before it was transformed into a boutique-style single malt distillery. The first spirit flowed from its stills during Christmas 1990, and the old watermill continues to provide fresh water from the Tromie River. This expression of Spey Tenne is limited to just 18,000 bottles and boasts an ABV of 46%. Initially aged in bourbon casks, it undergoes a fascinating six-month finish in Tawny Port casks, imparting a unique sweetness and fruitiness that sets it apart. With a minimum age of eight years, this whisky presents a harmonious blend of flavors that are both youthful and intricate. The Tawny Port cask finish adds layers of complexity, evident in its deep, red-tinged amber hue. On the nose, the Spey Tenne reveals a symphony of red fruits, berries, and a hint of rosé wine, underscored by notes of vanilla, honey, and subtle spices. The palate is greeted with a delightful mix of honey, vanilla, marmalade, raisins, and oak, with a gentle influence of port wine. The finish is long, spicy, and fruity, with lingering sweetness and oakiness. While some find it slightly lacking in complexity, it remains a wonderfully balanced and enjoyable dram that truly shines with a drop of water.
