Description
Glen Spey's 1997 vintage matured 21 years in an oloroso sherry butt, a single-cask expression that concentrates the Speyside distillery's fruit character into wine-influenced intensity. Expect orchard fruit and honey from the spirit itself, deepened by raisin, dark toffee, and oak tannin from the sherry cask's deep influence. The color and coating mouthfeel reflect the cask's generous contribution across two decades. A rich, flavorful bottling for those appreciating how extended sherry cask maturation transforms Speyside's delicate profile.
