Speyburn, the one in the tin

August 2nd, 2007

Speyburn, Single Highland MaltPriced accessibly at around $25, the Speyburn 10yr Highland malt provides a great value. What it lacks in complexity it makes up for in its crisp flavor. Normally I prefer to enjoy my malts neat, however I personally enjoy this malt on ice since the inclusion of the lower temperature and melting cubes fuse perfectly with this malt. Seeing as how they pride themselves on their fresh-water resource Granty Burn, it’s no wonder why the two go so well together.

The flavor is sweet with a measure of tartness as it glides over the sides of the tongue.  It’s light and fruity nature make it ideal for the end of a summer day.

While Speyburn’s 10yr Highland malt won’t be unseating any of the classics, it is a great addition to any bar.  After all, it’s only $25.
