Speyburn adds
a third single malt whisky to its travel
retail exclusive line-up, the Speyburn
16 Year Old.
Following the successful launch of
the travel exclusive Speyburn Hopkins
Reserve and 10 Year Old whiskies the
distillery has announced that they are
adding a third expression to its
exclusive traveller range, the Speyburn
16 Year Old.
The Speyburn 16 Year Old expression is
set to be unveiled at the Tax Free World
Association World Exhibition and
Conference in Cannes in October.
Wholly matured in American oak
ex-bourbon barrels for sixteen years in
a traditional dunnage warehouse in the
secluded Speyside valley that Speyburn
founder John Hopkins chose over 120
years ago. The result, they tell me, is
a liquid bursting with notes of zesty
fruit and creamy vanilla. Sweet pears
and tropical pineapple give way to hints
of white chocolate and honey, all
wrapped together with a gentle spice.
James Bateman, Global Travel Retail
Director, commented: "The new travel
retail-exclusive 16 Years Old is the
perfect complement to the existing two
TR-exclusive whiskies, Hopkins Reserve
and 10 Years Old. Travellers are now
offered a complete range of expressions
that cater to different palates and
drinking occasions – with Speyside
character at the heart of each
expression.
"International Beverage views travel
retail as a distinct global market, and
it is important to us to support that
channel with exclusives such as this.
Single malt Scotch whisky continues to
gain upward sales momentum around the
world, and the travel retail platform is
the perfect place to reach anyone
interested in these whiskies – from
travellers just embarking on their
single malt journey to whisky
aficionados looking to add to their
collection."
Speyburn 16 Year Old is bottled
exclusively for the global traveller at
a strength of 43% ABV, presented in a 1
litre bottle with an RRP of €72.00/ US
$85.00.
If you have no travel plans in the
near future you can still find the
current Speyburn domestic
core range of whiskies
available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop and
Master of Malt
