- Description
- 28 years in the barrel, 46% ABV, and a price tag of £215.64 make you wonder if you're paying for age or the experience. People say 'Honey' and 'Old Wood', but without a rating, it's your call whether that's tempting or too much of a gamble. Hardly a bargain, but Speyside has its devoted fans.
