Glen Spey 12 Years - Flora & Fauna Whisky

Glen Spey 12 Years is part of Diageo's Flora & Fauna series, a range that showcases single malts from distilleries whose output goes mainly into blends. Matured for 12 years and bottled at 43% ABV, this Speyside single malt from the Rothes-based Glen Spey Distillery offers a light, fragrant and fresh style that is rarely seen as a single malt bottling.

On the nose it is light and green, with dried grass, a resinous touch of beeswax and honeyed sweetness. The palate is soft and smooth, bringing dried grass, orchard fruit with a calvados-like note, malt and nuts. The finish is gentle and of medium length, with oaky warmth and a lingering nuttiness. A rewarding bottle for collectors and for whisky lovers keen to explore the lighter side of Speyside.
