Matured for twelve years and bottled at 43% ABV, this official release showcases a distillery whose production is rarely seen as single malt, with the overwhelming majority destined for J\u0026amp;B blended Scotch. The result is an elegant Speyside whisky offering fresh orchard fruit, gentle malt sweetness and a refined, lightly spicy character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in relatively modest quantities compared with other Flora \u0026amp; Fauna releases, Glen Spey has remained one of the quieter gems of the series. Its scarcity as an official bottling has earned it a loyal following among enthusiasts seeking lesser-known Speyside distilleries beyond the mainstream names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh orchard fruits, green apple, honey, beeswax, dried grass and delicate floral notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and elegant with sweet malt, pear, light citrus, gentle nuttiness and subtle oak spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium in length with soft oak warmth, grassy freshness and lingering malt sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glen Spey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flora \u0026amp; Fauna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1878 at Rothes and originally known as the Mill of Rothes, Glen Spey remains one of Speyside's most understated distilleries. Much of its production has traditionally supported J\u0026amp;B blended Scotch, leaving official single malt releases exceptionally limited. Its distinctive purifier-equipped stills help create a lighter, elegant spirit that stands apart from many richer Speyside malts, making official bottlings particularly appealing to collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bottling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiageo's Flora \u0026amp; Fauna collection was created to showcase distilleries that rarely appeared as official single malts. Glen Spey's 12 Year Old has become one of the harder expressions in the range to source, making it an attractive bottle for collectors seeking the less commonly encountered members of this iconic official series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
