Outstanding rating, 90–94 range
Peated
Speyside distillery built in 1898 and closed in 1983. Aceo is restoring it for whisky production, while Historic Environment Scotland retains guardianship of the historic site.
Magnificent cooked and overripe fruits meet honey and beeswax, while the palate brings mint, florals, cider and oranges with remarkable freshness.
Tremendous charm, with a dry, earthy profile of tobacco, old copper coins and green walnuts, finishing with peppery orange zest.
