Spey Reserve 12

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Harvie's of Edinburgh

ABV: 40%

Score: 84 Points

This Speyside malt is mainly available in Asia, and the nose has notes of smoke and cinnamon with honey underneath and a touch of roasted almonds. The taste starts off spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg notes at first, but fades quickly to reveal a good balance of honey and citrusy tartness underneath. The finish is lingering and soft with touches of nutmeg and honey.
