Speys The Final Frontier – Moscatel – Mezcal- 2 Cask Vatting
Speys. The final frontier. Our mission, to boldly go where no dram has gone before.
This is two casks and two casks only from an unknown Speyside distillery. One was aged in Moscatel cask for 2 years. The other was aged in Mezcal cask for two years.
In a completely novel whisky making, mad scientist-esque experiment, the two casks have been blended to create a Speys Oddity.
-
A rich, opulent ex-Moscatel cask, bursting with dried fruits and velvety texture at 54.0% natural cask strength.
-
A dry, structured ex-Mezcal cask, lending refined earthiness and a whisper of smoke at 54.9% natural cask strength.
The resulting liquid marries beautifully together to create a dram much greater than the sum of their parts.
Welcome to Uncharted Space.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Juicy melon and ripe peach lead the way, lifted by delicate rose petals and fresh pear, with a whisper of mezcal smoke tasting as if it might have been matured in an ex-peated cask.
Palate
Moscatel introduces honey alongside dried fig, the waft of opening a kitchen spice cupboard, and more distinct warming cloves. All mellowing lovely into the earthy Mezcal cask.
Finish
A long, opulent finish with gentle smoke, lingering sweetness, and a twist of orange rind. It’s a class act.
