That Boutique-y Whisky Company Speyside #4 26 Year Old Limited Edition 45% 700ml

That Boutique-y Whisky Company keeps us guessing as to the origin of this rather splendid Speysider. They've given us a couple of good clues though. Firstly, it hails from one of the two largest malt distilleries in the world following a recent expansion... and secondly, the distillery's name was historically used as a suffix to the names of a large number of other distilleries, marking a sign of quality.

Now who's got the latest copy of the Malt Whisky Yearbook handy? The whisky was laid down in 1998 and matured for a total of 26 years before its release in nice big 700ml bottles to join Boutique-y's Label Editions.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vibrant layers of juicy barley and vanilla join crisp apples and honeyed tropical fruits. Orchard blossom and a touch of lemongrass join in time.

Palate: Rich and creamy, with layers of vanilla custard, honey, and lemon posset. Poached apples bring balance to layers of peppery warmth and drying oak.

Finish: Woody spices linger, with peppercorns, ginger, and oaken vanilla.
