Speyside Pure Malt 8 Year Old

Bottle Level Below Shoulder

The Speyside Pure Malt 8 Year Old—particularly the bottling by the Speyside Distillery —is a charming, entry-level single malt that leans into traditional Speyside character with a touch of rusticity. It’s not a showstopper, but it offers a clean, honest dram that rewards patient nosing and casual sipping.

Tasting Notes

Nose :- Dried sweet spice, vanilla, and a slightly sawdusty wood edge. Opens with hints of wax, Ovaltine, and light honey—a nostalgic, comforting aroma.

Palate :- Tingling and clean, with a whisper of light smoke and grassiness. Chewy, nutty, and light-bodied—more texture than weight.

Finish :- Short and clean, with a gentle fade of malt and spice.
