Speyburn 15 years
Score: 73
Speyburn 15 Year Old is a rich and vibrant Speyside single malt, matured in a combination of ex-American and ex-Spanish oak casks for 15 years. This extended aging imparts depth and complexity, enhancing Speyburn’s naturally bright and fruity character. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers a balanced yet expressive experience. The nose presents dark chocolate, raisins, zesty citrus, and vanilla, leading into a palate of oranges, toffee, vanilla, and leather, all wrapped in a gentle spice. The finish is long-lasting, warming, and creamy, with lingering hints of forest fruits and honey. Speyburn 15 showcases the distillery’s signature style while offering a refined, well-rounded Speyside dram. CLUB TASTING NOTES "Rather meh." "Aroma great, taste okay then disappointment with the finish." "Intense nose just hits the spot. Warm it up in your hands though (like any other whiskey) Deep peat taste that’s burning in more than one way going down. If you like the campfire, you’ll like sipping on this. Eventually, the drip keeps you in the rough camping mood with your friends. Good shit!"
