Smell

Very fruity, but not very sweet with a little vanilla. We perceive honeydew melon and mango. A little banana and oaky notes resonate. NicNacs are hiding far in the back. Yes. Really.

Taste

The blended malt opens very vanilla-fruity and a little candle waxy. Banana chips and orange aromas quickly follow. On top is an interesting aroma that reminds us of apple pie with vanilla ice cream.

Finish

The medium-long finish is a bit oaky and spicy.

Thoughts

A very nice blend. Although it doesn't have an age statement, it tastes a little sharp and was probably blended with one or two older Whiskys. Wonderfully full and long-lasting in the mouth, the Speysider tastes very fruity.
Both beginners and connoisseurs will get their money's worth here. Speaking of costs: The price is absolutely within reason.

Rating: 75/100 - Very Good (Marcel: 75 | Sascha: 75)

Value for Money: 4/5 - Good
