An independent-bottled Speyside single malt from Speybridge, distilled in 2012 and released in 2022 at 46% ABV. It was matured in a first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butt, a cask type known for adding richer notes of dried fruit and sweetness to malt whisky.
For a novice drinker, this points to a fuller, sherry-led style rather than a light or smoky one. Expect a rounder profile with cask influence at the forefront, balancing Speyside malt character with richer sweetness and oak.
