Notes
The Speymhor brand (pronounced Spey -VOR) is small brand of blended and single malt from undisclosed distilleries. Bottled by the Glasgow Whisky Company, it's not a brand we regularly see in the US. This exceptional whisky is a blend of both necessity and delicacy. It begins with a single cask from a high quality unnamed Speyside distillery from 1978. This cask showed excpetional depth and complexity, but was nearing the 80 proof mark and needed to be bottle soon. It was married with one single cask of 1978 from a distillery at the from the "foothills of the Highlands" that remained at considerable proof. Just two casks distilled in 1978 and bottled at a seamless 92 proof. Very few malt whiskies will offer more value or complexity than this special bottling. Expect a bouquet of deep tropical aromas - mango, cocoa, cinnamon and exotic honey. On the palate, wonderful texture and a rich sweetness prevents any bitterness of age from showing. Malty with tons of dark fruit, which makes us wonder if at least one of the components was aged in sherry. Surprising pop and freshness considering these very old whiskies can occasionally feel thin or overly ethereal. While the labels might not be as cool as the other prominent blended malt brand, the quality of the spirit is unquestionable and the cost, were it to be bottled by anyone else, would cost many multiples of this exceptional bottling. Only 200 bottles available.
