Master of Malt The Speyside Distillery 8 Year Old 2014

This expression comes from a Speyside distillery, part of Scotland’s most prolific whisky-producing region, famed for smooth, fruity and elegantly styled single malts. As a Master of Malt own-bottling, it reflects the retailer’s long-running independent bottling programme that selects noteworthy casks from respected producers and presents them with minimal intervention — typically without chill-filtration or added colour — to highlight the spirit’s inherent character.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Bright and fruit-driven, with crisp apple, apricot and peach complemented by vanilla cream, soft brioche and subtle oak spice.

Palate: Smooth and layered with sugared stone fruits, honeyed malt, lemon drizzle cake and touches of toasted coconut and flapjack sweetness.

Finish: Gentle, lingering orchard fruit and creamy vanilla are joined by soft oaken warmth, rounding out a refined and satisfying close.
