Eighteen Years in Two Oaks
The American oak brings vanilla and honey; the Spanish sherry oak brings dried fruit and depth — 18 years of both, unfiltered and uncolored. Speyburn's Granty Burn water and the Rothes warehouse climate do the rest. It is the distillery's flagship age statement, and the one Speyside malt drinkers reach for when they want sherry influence without losing the malt's freshness.

Tasting Notes
Honeyed malt and vanilla from the bourbon oak, dark fruit and gentle spice from the sherry oak, finishing long and warming at 46% — full-bodied but polished.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass; a few drops of water soften the proof and open the sherry fruit. A proper after-dinner pour.
