- Description
- Glen Spey's refined Speyside character is enhanced here by a 12-year finishing period in an oloroso sherry butt, following the main 12-year maturation from 2014 onwards—a generous sherry influence that deepens the distillery's orchard fruit and spice into dried stone fruit and warming oak. Independent bottler James Eadie selected this cask for their Distilleries of Great Britain & Ireland series, ensuring quality curation. Only 445 bottles were released. A well-composed example of Speyside matured with care.
