SPEY 12 Year Old Red Scarlet is a vibrant expression inspired by the breathtaking red hues of the autumn leaves blanketing the Cairngorms. This single malt embodies the changing seasons of Speyside, where nature’s beauty meets traditional craftsmanship. Double distilled in the classic Scotch whisky style, the whisky is matured in a combination of American oak bourbon barrels and select sherry casks. This careful maturation creates a harmonious balance of fruity richness, floral elegance, and smooth complexity, honouring Speyside’s legacy of exceptional whisky-making.
