Description

Glen Spey 2006 14 Year Old North Star Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 59.1%) is a cask?strength, small?batch release from indie bottler North Star Spirits, drawing on Glen Spey?s lightly fruity, Speyside character. Matured for 14 years in a single or limited selection of casks?often refill or subtly active oak?it presents a rich, oily texture with notes of orchard fruit, honeyed malt, vanilla, toasted cereal and a hint of spice, amplified by its high strength. At 59.1% ABV the whisky is intense and warming, best enjoyed with a little water to reveal hidden layers of stewed apple, biscuit sweetness and gentle oak. The 70cl bottle caps a limited run, appealing to collectors and those who enjoy powerful, un?chill?filtered spirit. For a refined ritual, pair it with a Dunhill White Spot Amber Root or Dunhill White Spot Cumberland, Dunhill White Spot Sidecar Case (10s) Zig?Zag Gawith Hoggarth Brown House, Edwin Jagger silvertip lather, Wilsons Snuff Red M., and a Davidoff Petit Corona or Nicaraguan puro, letting the whisky?s brawny Speyside sweetness complement the tobacco?s warmth and depth.
