Unnamed Speyside 'Signatory' 2009 / 13 years old 46%

With over 50 distilleries in the region of Speyside, this 13-year-old expression from an undisclosed distillery from Signatory is truly a mysterious dram. Charged from a vatting of refill butts, the nose opens with rich honeycomb, freshly-harvested barley and a handful of Autumn walnuts. Decadent gingerbread and lemon creme tart on the palate, with whispers of earthy green wood. This develops into juicy stonefruit and syrup as Autumnal spices linger.
