Spey 1986 15 Year Old (70cl, 40%)

Spey 1986 15 Year Old is a whisky. Aged 15 years, bottled at 40% ABV, 70cl. Built by drystone dyker Alex Fairlie, Speyside was only commissioned in 1962 and finished in 1987. It wasn’t until 1991 that the first spirit flowed from the stills - with the first single malt. A small site, it has a pair of stills which were originally installed in the Lochside distillery but were cut down to size in order to fit into their new surroundings. Virtually unseen as a single malt – it has appeared under the name Drumguish (named after the surrounding village) launched in 1993 - and yet in a very short time it has become the third best-selling single malt in Taiwan. Recent releases include the 100% bourbon-matured Trutina and the peated barley version dubbed Fumare as well as a port cask finnished Tenne.
