A Speyside Blend Built by the Cask
Mossburn Distillers & Blenders approaches regional character the old-fashioned way: first select mature whiskies from different distilleries across Speyside that capture the region's signature honey, spice, and delicate floral nuttiness, then marry them in casks built specifically for the job. This blended malt spends its first maturation in American oak barrels for a gentle wood influence, then moves to Mossburn Cask Bill #2 — custom-coopered Oloroso sherry butts fitted with heavily charred American oak cask heads. The sherry wood brings rich sweetness and fruit accent; the charred heads add vanilla depth and warm spice. Bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration and no coloring, it's Speyside through and through — and proudly unpeated.
Tasting Notes
The nose is generous and inviting: barley and orchard fruit up front, honey and vanilla extract following, with floral notes drifting through and a faint cherry and honeydew at the edges. The palate is smooth and rounded — sweet malt, vanilla, and exotic fruit layered over soft spice — leading to a medium finish of malty vanilla, white pepper, and lingering sherry sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat to appreciate the double-matured depth, or add a few drops of water to coax out the fruit. It stands up beautifully on a large ice cube as a slow evening pour, and its balance of honey and spice makes it an excellent base for a premium Rob Roy or a simple whisky highball.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a blended malt? A blended malt is a whisky made by blending single malt whiskies from more than one distillery — unlike a single malt, which comes from one distillery, and unlike a blended Scotch, which also includes grain whisky.
Is Mossburn Speyside peated? No — it is an unpeated Speyside style built around honey, spice, and floral nuttiness, with sherry-cask sweetness from its Cask Bill #2 maturation.
What is Mossburn Cask Bill #2? It is Mossburn's proprietary second-maturation cask: custom Oloroso sherry butts fitted with heavily charred American oak heads, adding sherry fruit, vanilla, and spice during the final marriage.
Does it have an age statement? No — it is a non-age-stated blend of mature Speyside single malts, bottled at 46% ABV.
