Speyburn Rum Cask Finish Speyside Single Scotch [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that brings tropical warmth to Scotland’s classic whisky tradition?

Speyburn Rum Cask Finish represents an innovative approach from one of Speyside’s most respected distilleries, where traditional Scottish craftsmanship meets Caribbean influence. This non-age statement expression showcases the art of dual maturation – initially aged in ex-bourbon casks before finishing in rum barrels for distinctive tropical character. Unlike heavily sherried expressions like the Aberlour A’Bunadh Alba, this whisky delivers approachable complexity, while offering more exotic notes than traditional cask-finished whiskies such as the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask.
