This is the first of 4 whiskies from Speyside distillery in Kingussie. Not to be confused with Speyburn distillery which I have looked at recently.

The first one of four is a whisky with a good story. Trutina Melody is a whisky and associated artwork which complement each other.

There are 1500 bottles available for around £60 each. Bottled at 46% ABV and featuring only ex-Bourbon cask maturation.

Tasting Notes

Colour – Pale gold / white wine appearance.

Nose- A light nose, with an initial savoury top-note on a fruity base (white grapes, apple blossom, lychees in syrup)

Palate – developing floral notes, with a hint of boiled sweets. Light texture, with a sweet start leading crisp acidity and notes of scented sweets, with a finish of white chocolate

Official Tasting Notes

Colour – Light and almost pale

Nose – Crisp apples. Granny Smith is a good reference.

Palate – Pick n Mix sweets, delicate texture and just a hint of white pepper

Finish – Short finish and that tart orchard fruit note is back

Final Thoughts

A nice whisky featuring light and fruity spirit notes. If a whisky could be a season this would be Summer
