A Speyside from Speyside. A single malt Scotch from the Speyside distillery located in the famous Speyside region, that is. The very definition of meta! It's not precisely what you'll find if you open a dictionary, however, as shown on the label of this whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company...

The nose and flavours are great without water but a little overpowered by the ABV. I found it a little too musty and bitter on the finish after adding water. The 'Inception' inspired label is apt - big, bold, impressive but might raise eyebrows if you think about it too much.
extremely fruity - rich - and absolutely wonderful.
