Whisky Forum - Spey Fumore 46% ABV

Quaich1 · Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2017 12:09 pm Post subject: Spey Fumore 46% ABV

Fumore latin for "smoky". 18,000 bottles.

Color: Dark Gold

Nose: Understated smoke and peat awaken with underlying sweetness, more than subliminal lilacs and late apple jelly.

Taste: Medium to full-bodied. The peat is caressed by floral sweetness, a smoky halo amd rhubarb jam.

Finish: Lingering, sweet smokehouse hues and apricot accents. Fruit compote weighs in on the caboose.

Comments: A rather light peated dram with sweet protuberances which satisfy.

Score: 84

I haven't tried the Fumore but I have had the Spey Tenne which is a decent port cask finished whisky.

Got a bottle of this recently Murray.. It's a pleasant dram and not overly peated.. great review.
