This cask was filled at Speyside Distillery in May of 1992, and bottled 20 years later by Douglas Laing & Co. The nose has hints of smoke and peat, toasted oak, and subtle notes of grapefruit and orange peel. The taste is fruity with orange and grapefruit notes, mild cinnamon, and a hint of ginger.
