Mcclellands Speyside

Description

The River Spey, in the heart of Scotland, is the countrys second longest and fastest-flowing river, renowned for its fine trout and salmon fishing. Home to half the Scotch malt whiskey distilleries in Scotland, the banks of this river boast more distilleries than anywhere else in the world. Some distilleries are only a stone’s throw apart, using the same barley, water, and peat and yet, by some strange magic, every Speyside whiskey has its own special characteristics and flavor. The district is a blunt wedge, bisected by the fast flowing River Spey. The malts are sweet and fruity; delicate yet peaty on the palate with just with a trace of smoke. 40% ABVTasting NotesColor Honeyed with golden highlights. Body Light to medium, elegant and balanced.
