Bright amber, the Speyside radiates from the glass. From the streaks sticking to the glass wall after pouring, oily and syrupy drops dissolve and their creamy paths are drawn back into the glass. An insanely beguiling fruit note rises powerfully from the glass, pineapple pieces mix with sour lemon slices, velvety vineyard peach and ripe oranges are added and make the fruit note appear even more intense. The alcohol content is shown in a few times, but is harmonious and integrated. Tropical fruits such as kiwi and honeydew melon mix with subtly tart grapefruit flavor and a touch of vegetables. Before I can define the vegetable note correctly, it is already gone. Sweet fruits and berries preserved in rum burn off a firework of flavors! I can not smell enough at this incredibly voluminous and extremely fruity or multi-layered nose. Grassy hints follow the fruity sweetness, a hint of minty freshness mixed with a subtle spicy note. Honey and a hint of caramel mixes with the ever-intensifying fruit bouquet. My saliva is stimulated massively in the last moments, I just want to try the Speysider ....

Wonderfully creamy, the first sip flows through the mouth. Spicy and old wood elements are immediately crossed by fruity sweetness, subtle sharpness arises. A pinch of white pepper spreads on the tongue and between the lips, my salivation is further stimulated ... Slowly, the sharpness fades away and releases again tart wood tones. Dark and old fruit flavors rise from the oak resting on the tongue. A gentle spice mixture spreads over them emerging vegetable flavors. The wood is now oily and creamy, giving it its idiosyncratic note, filling the palate with spicy cream, and gradually more and more different spice nuances emerge. The mouthfeel is very idiosyncratic at the moment, the wood gradually takes over the control over the taste.

The spicy and creamy wood elements rest for an eternity on the palate. Slowly, the subtle pepper sharpness shows again, the tropical fruits return. The aftertaste is fresher, delicate eucalyptus aroma and dried peppermint show up, a touch of milk chocolate mixed with a subtle leather flavor. Dry and yet spicy wood elements lie discreetly in the background all the time and take over more and more dominance at the end of the aftermath. Creamy and buttery, the Speysider sounds like an eternity.
