Speyburn Bradan Orach Whisky

Soft pleasant whiskey with a pleasant light aftertaste. I'm afraid to be biased because I love Speyburn whiskies.

Good whiskey for the price. I like it very much and the young taste it has is everything that i love in singlemalt whiskey. It can be little rough but sure i am too.

Well, I don't think your tasters were drinking the same bradan orach that I am supping now. I'm getting some caramel but also a definite reduced sulphur kick...reminds me of a spring in the Castle Grounds of Stornoway, used by seafarers of the past. The water comes from a peat bog. Maybe that's what feeds Speyburn. It's different and I'm getting to like it. Definitely a bit young and raw, but I like that too.

Rough. Sure, it’s a single malt. But it’s just too young, thin and rough to be enjoyable. Add a little more for the 10 Year old. Or a little less for a decent blend.

I would have done better with a bottle of Teachers....even cheap Bells is better than that.

Bought another 2 bottles of this whisky this morning when I went to local Spar shop for bread rolls. A fine dram in the evening for a night-cap, and at £18 per bottle it is a good buy.

I am not a Scotch whisky expert, believe me. I have tried the 10 yr old and it is wonderful! Thought I would sample this because of the description, and the fact that the other Speyburn product is so good. Anyway, I think that this very young spirit is terrific! Exactly what I expected. It is too bad a lot of the experts say it is too young to drink yet. I think (and I don't know) that this is "price point" whisky for Speyburn. Well it works for my budget! Thanks!

Great price for a good sip.

Given one as a gift very smooth

As a distiller who produces both single malt and bourbon whiskeys, among other spirits, so far I am not a fan of this product. It tastes as though the Distillery is not cutting the tails from the batches in time producing weak and rather awful flavors. The copper also needs to be cleaned more frequently with a neutral cleaner. The bourbon barrels must be getting stripped or they are very old, no bourbon notes are picked up at all.

The grassy tastes could also be coming from poorly produced malt that is to green. Had that happen to us. Threw it out. I would have done better with a bottle of Teachers, but live and learn.
