Speymhor - 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky NV

Description

All the magical qualities of Speyside Malts can be found in this award-winning 21 Year Old Speymhor Single Malt. It captures all the unrivalled characteristics that only fresh clean mountain air and streams can offer. As you’d expect it’s been carefully aged in former sherry casks to aid its development. The nose is heavy, with traces of sweet toffee then autumnal fruits. The taste - a fruity melange which ends with ripe plums and a suggestion of oak. There’s even a hint of a fine old Cuban cigar in the finish, for good measure. Need we say more?

Distillery

The extraordinary Speymhor is a collection of some of Scotland’s finest Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. It was established by the founding fathers of Glasgow Whisky, Graham Taylor and Stuart Hendry, to showcase and highlight not only the art of distilling and maturing Scotch, but also to highlight their preferred characteristics of Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Between them, Graham and Stuart have been working in the Scotch Whisky Industry for over 70 years and have amassed a formidable amount of knowledge and expertise of Scotch Whisky, not to mention the thousands of samples from over these seven decades. It has become a lifelong passion for both, and they wanted to share this through a Single Malt range that could not only satisfy the connoisseurs, but that could also welcome the newest of whisky drinkers. Many of the Single Malts in the aged Speymhor Collection are taken from distilleries located in the region of Speyside. In Gaelic (the ancient language of the Scots) “mhor” means “large” and so Speymhor refers really to the large River Spey.
