Glen Spey
North Star Spirits North Star Glen Spey 2006 (14 year old) 59.1%
Bourbon Hogshead/ Oloroso finish.
Dist Sept 2006 Btl: 2020
Tasted: Nov 2020
Noticeable sherried dried fruit and treacle on the nose, but there is also some lovely, fragrant barley, malt and citrus. It becomes quite herbal as the sherry asserts itself, but the gritty minerality of the spirit stands up to it well.
Juicy, raisinated fruit on the palate. Distinct herbal oloroso with hints of honey, treacle, barley and minerals. The spirit comes through well on the middle. Long with plenty of punchy rye-like spice, cinnamon, pepper and toasty oak.
Water lessens the citrus and mineral notes but emphasises the fragrant barley. Likewise on the palate. It's a little simpler and the spice intensity has lessened, so even though it's approaching 60% abv I would be inclined to drink it neat.
