Description

A distillery bottling from the Speyside Distillery and bottled at 46%. Just 18000 bottles were filled. Raised single handed by a drystone mason over some twenty years on a former mill site by the River Tromie, the Speyside Distillery is one of Scotland's smallest. Its two small pot stills, among the smallest in Scotland, sit with the whole production under one roof.

It was drawn off short stills coaxed by hand towards a delicate make, for a clean, honeyed spirit of real finesse. A Port cask shaped it, the red fruit meeting the light spirit. Carrying no age, it leans on apple, pear and a soft vanilla. The cool upper Spey climate gives a slow, even maturation over the years. Its two pot stills are among the smallest in Scotland, the whole works under one roof. Water is drawn from the River Tromie through the old mill lade and waterwheel.

Bottled at 46%, it is rounded. The Port cask adds plum, red berry and raisin, and a gentle vanilla and coconut from the wood, with pear, honey and a fragrant lift. The texture is light and rounded, the fruit lifted by honey. The finish runs fresh, soft and fragrant. This is the hand built malt of Drumguish.
