Spey NAS 40% OB/IB? Chairman's Choice Speyside Distillery



Speyside Distillery then, of Drumguish fame, a bit too often reminding us what a small distillery they are, have created this rather fancy miniature. Chairman's Choice? Have they changed their PR strategy? But lets not forget that this is a distillery yet to really make its mark on the map of single malt whisky. The color is dark golden. I'm suspecting its not a natural color. It smells spirity, caramel, lime rind, grapefruit, butter, salt, restrained. The taste is that of a young and fruity spirit, some hints of calvados and young armagnac. This is more in the blend territory, light and easy. Perhaps it would work as a digestive to a light supper? The finish is raw onions and dandelion leaves.

It's not a leap, not even a small jump up in my opinion, from the Drumguish: 2.5



Next tasting: Teaninich Distillery
