Glen Spey 'Infrequent Flyers' 2008 / 15 years old 54.8%

This fifteen year old single cask offering from Glen Spey distillery has undergone a three year secondary maturation in a single Ruby Port hogshead, delivering rich fruity and gentle spice tones. The nose opens up with lovely red wine notes, alongside tangy fruity notes of cranberry juice and peaches, followed by hints of chewy strawberry sweets. The intense fruitiness brought forward by the Port cask continues on through the palate, with dried apricots, rhubarb crumble and juicy blood orange. Sweet notes of slivered almonds and rich Highland toffee balance perfectly with the vibrant fruity tones, complimented by dashes of spice lingering on the back of the palate.
