A Breath of Fresh Air
Sunshine on Speyside
Sunshine on Speyside
Remarkable by virtue of its character, this astonishingly bright, beautifully aged Speyside Malt carries with it compelling notes of fresh pineapple, charred fruit, and old-fashioned sweet shops.
"The first impression on the nose is of white grape must backed by roasted pineapple and bruised apple, with light cereal notes at base."
Charlie McLean
"96 / 100. Drinking this whisky was an amazing experience. It really swept me away. It’s clear and bright, the aspects of a younger scotch remain but the harsher sides have worn down. A dram that I expect even non whisky drinkers will greatly enjoy."
Drambling Man
"This blended malt is hedonistically fruity on the nose, with lifted aromas of guava, kiwi and cassis, leading into dark marmalade, hazelnut praline and chocolate ganache. But it’s a shapeshifter, with the palate almost austere by comparison – plenty of structure, a whisper of earthy smoke and a mildly drying finish."
Richard Woodard
The Finer Details
Distilled in the early 1980s, in the era of brightly coloured, tropical flavoured cocktails it is perhaps only natural that this Speyside Malt has taken on notes of pineapple and mango throughout its time in cask. The emergence of flavours such as this is unusual, inexplicable and reminds us of the magical process that takes place between cask and spirit over time.
- A tribute to the vibrant decade of the 1980s.
- Matured in a combination of first and refill sherry casks.
- Offered at a natural cask strength.
- Free from added colour.
- Non-chill filtered.
- Packaged in a hand-labelled, individually numbered decanter with accompanying gift box.
Nose
Astonishingly bright on the nose with notes of fresh pineapple, barbecued fruit and a delicious Victorian sweet shop character.
Palate
On the palate, the tropical theme continues with delicious, charred fruit sweetness alongside a creamy caramelised barbecue smoke and bright zesty citrus. A true one-of-a-kind.
