Speyside Distillery 30yo: A Rare Single Cask from The Caskhound’s Exquisite Casks

Speyside Distillery 30 Years Old 1995 Exquisite Casks The Caskhound showcases a remarkable 30-year-old single malt whisky distilled in 1995 and matured entirely in a sherry butt. Released by The Caskhound as part of their EXQUISITE CASKS series, this expression highlights the unique character of a recently classified Lost Distillery from Speyside. Its rarity and depth make it a coveted addition for collectors and whisky enthusiasts seeking mature, well-balanced drams.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This single cask release spent three decades in a refill sherry butt, allowing subtle influence from the wood without overwhelming the whisky’s natural profile. The result is a soft, fruit-forward malt with an artisanal style—balanced, nuanced, and refined rather than intense. The cask brings complex layers of delicate sweetness, spice, and a dry finish with herbal undertones.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Quiet and complex, with umami hints evolving into spices, wine gums, sugared strawberries, vanilla sauce, fig jam, herbal honey, floral notes, preserved peaches, and subtle pipe tobacco. • Palate: Soft and velvety start followed by vivid pepper, rich candy-like sweetness featuring cotton candy, jelly beans, overripe fruits, cinnamon, cloves, stewed pear with brandy, nut biscuits, dark chocolate shavings, and velvety oak. • Finish: Very long, warming, and pleasantly dry, with lingering herbs, licorice, dried berries, apricots, leather, and a confident spicy oak structure.
