Speyburn 10 Year Old

Nose: Speyside sweetness and fruitiness. There is a lot of honey and pear in it. I could keep on nosing for hours. Taste: Sweet and fruity (lemon?) on the palate, not much body.

So here we go, another round. The colour is a bright gold. Very honeyed on the nose, with lemon meringue, creme brûlée, buttery brioche, peach skin and...
