Speyside Single Malt 15 Year Old Cognac Finish | Sainsbury'sSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled By: Sainsbury's 70cl 40% An old bottle of 15 year old Speyside single malt whisky from an undisclosed distillery, bottled in 2008 by UK supermarket Sainsbury's. This is rather unusual for a supermarket whisky, as the whisky was finished in Cognac casks. Apart from that, 15 years old is pretty old for supermarket whisky these days, it just shows how much the market has changed in the last decade. Attributes

Classic Glen Elgin fruitiness with a nice hint of spice that works so well with the punchy abv

Cask 2391 was released without fanfare for sale at the distillery but has since passed into whisky legend as the first single cask bottling from the finest batch of sherry casks ever filled at the distillery
