Expert Review

7.5/10

Speyside, owned by the Grant family — one of the few remaining independent family-owned distilleries. Matured in Oloroso and Fino sherry casks from day one. 'Best Sherried Whisky' Single Malt World Cup 2006; Gold at Stockholm 2007/2008. 43%. Approachable, well-balanced entry-level sherry bomb — great value benchmark.
