Product Overview
VINTAGE CASKS
The MossburnVintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of each of these Single Malts, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional examples of the whisky made by some of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.
For this range we have sought out Single Malts of interest from distilleries not owned or run by ourselves. They are the issue of specific vintages, with full traceability of the distillation and cask ageing that they have undergone. The master blender has specially selected these barrels from our ageing warehouses, where many Single Malt Casks lie slowly maturing, as worthy of special Mossburn Distillers & Blenders bottling. Each batch exhibited the classic hallmarks of balance, depth and complexity that only the best Single Malts can deliver.
These Single Malt Scotch Whiskies have all been bottled without any colouring or chill filtration.
One of Diageo's smallest distilleries with four pot stills. Originally a mill, but remodelled as a distillery in 1878, Glen Spey sits in the center of the village of Rothes next door to the Glenrothes Distillery and across the road from Forsyth's the famous whisky still manufacturers. Glen Spey's production has a characteristic lightness from the purifiers fitted to the spirit stills which return vapours back for further distillation. After 10 years in smaller barrels, this whisky has a fragrant grassy nose with dried apple and some light vanilla. The palate starts sweeter with a little biscuity malt and vanilla cream, some floral spice and a delicious delicate lightness on the finish.
