Speyburn 18yo is a single malt whisky that celebrates eighteen years of maturation in a combination of American and Spanish oak casks, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. Bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color, ensuring an authentic tasting experience. The yellow-brown whisky offers a nose filled with aromas of caramel, candied almonds, and tropical fruits, with additional layers of cedarwood, vanilla, dried figs, and plums. A slight fruit acidity, reminiscent of blackcurrants or ripe apricots, also makes an appearance. On the palate, toffee and cocoa blend with a hint of lemon peel, complemented by a pleasant smokiness. The sweetness initially dominates, followed by a pleasant spiciness, some acidity, and a gentle touch of mint. Spices such as pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and tobacco join the mix, alongside notes of dark chocolate and dried figs. The finish is long and smoky with a touch of honey, transitioning into an invigorating mint that quickly turns to dryness. Licorice and dark fruits gently let the whisky fade away, leaving a lingering sense of vanilla. This exceptional whisky was released to celebrate the 18th anniversary of Bobby Anderson's position as distillery manager at Speyburn and is personally signed by him. The influence of the American and Spanish oak casks after 18 years of maturation gives this skillfully crafted golden single malt Scotch whisky an unparalleled depth of flavor and character. The complex and complementary tastes create a rich whisky that embodies generations of distilling expertise at Speyside. The 700ml bottle is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the Speyburn distillery and is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts.

In front of me is an exceptional eighteen-year-old Speyburn, bottled at 46% ABV and free from artificial coloring and chill-filtration. This whisky needs a bit of time and air to fully open up, but once it does, it reveals an independent and compelling character. The initial intense sherry aroma, cedarwood, and caramel notes are beautifully complemented by a palate that gracefully balances sweetness, spice, and a hint of gentle bitterness. The medium-length finish transitions from invigorating mint to a satisfying dryness, making this whisky a thoroughly successful bottling worth savoring.
