- Description
- This 2008 Speyburn was aged for eight years in a single refill hogshead before independent bottling by Douglas Laing, yielding just 300 bottles. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, it presents a youthful Speyside character true to the distillery's house style. A study in how restraint and maturity can coexist in a relatively young single malt.
