The Granty Burn Dram
Speyburn has one claim no other distillery can make: it's the only one drawing its water from the Granty Burn, a tributary of the River Spey. The 15 Year sits between the 10 and the 18 in the core range — a step up into sherry-cask richness while keeping Speyburn's bright, approachable character.

Tasting Notes
Nose — rich dark chocolate, spicy raisins, zesty citrus fruits, vanilla. Palate — oranges, toffee, vanilla and leather wrapped in gentle spice. Finish — long-lasting, warming spice, sweet and creamy (official brand notes).
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the un-chill-filtered texture, or with a splash of water to open the sherry-cask fruit. An excellent after-dinner malt with dark chocolate.
