TBWC Speyside #2 25YO 500mL

Graceful and fruit-laden, the Speyside #2 25 Year Old from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a mature and expressive single malt that showcases the region’s classic elegance. Though the exact distillery remains undisclosed, the whisky speaks in a voice of aged refinement, balancing soft fruit, polished oak, and delicate spice in perfect harmony. The nose opens with refined aromas of dried apricot, yellow plum, and steamed apple pudding, supported by subtle notes of vanilla cream, almond nougat, and light floral honey. A gentle backdrop of antique oak, orange peel, and herbal tea gives the aroma a dignified complexity. On the palate, it is silky, mature, and poised. Flavours of baked pear, buttery shortbread, and marmalade on toast unfold with grace, layered over toffee-glazed nuts, faint cinnamon, and a touch of waxed citrus rind. The texture is soft yet mouth-filling, carrying the richness of age without losing freshness. The finish is long, elegant, and lightly drying — fading through notes of vanilla oak, white pepper, and a final whisper of fruit compote and dry herbs. It’s the kind of whisky that invites quiet contemplation and delivers the depth of time with a gentle hand.
