Tasting Notes

Indulge in the captivating allure of Glen Spey 16 Year Old 2007 - Benchmark, a single malt whisky that weaves a tapestry of flavors. Distilled in 2007 and matured for 16 years, including a finish in a tawny Port cask, this spirit unveils a symphony of aromas. Marzipan, cherry chocolate, and earthy coffee notes intertwine with hints of berry-studded fruit loaf, inviting you to embark on a sensory journey. On the palate, robust layers of oily barley and stewed berries unfold, accompanied by vinous oak, caramel, and a touch of clove, creating a harmonious melody. As the whisky lingers, the rich finish reveals cocoa, cinnamon, dried cranberry, and a peppery essence, leaving a lasting impression. With only 324 bottles released in 2023 by indie bottler Murray McDavid, this whisky is a rare gem that deserves to be savored.
