SPEY 12YO Brume Doree/Golden Mist, 57.6%

Brume Doree or The Golden Mist to those of us who struggle outside of English, is a somewhat revolutionary style of cask toasting using 400 litre, custom made French oak barrels. By utilising a fine mist of water and controlled heart, it allows the wood to open up more, enhancing the liquids interaction with these custom oak barrels.

Taking the classic SPEY 12 Year Old and finishing the whisky in these casks, then bottling at cask strength gives you one of the most dessert orientated single malts that I’ve ever come across. This is waves of crème Brule, honey, melted chocolate, crisp biscuits and wafers, along with a gently spicy finish that doesn’t even appear to be cask strength, so quite easy drinking as well. With a 120 hour fermentation process, SPEY is one of the most incredible distilleries to go with this process, as it opens up the whisky to so many more interesting flavours, and offers drinkers a cask style that they may not have experienced before.
