A rare 10 year old from the Eastern Highland distillery, Teaninich. The Flora and Fauna series are becoming increasingly rare.
The nose is quite frgrant with fruit and a greenness. Notes of cut hay and chamomile, hints of wood resins and potpourri with a little winter spice and a gentle citric acidity. The palate is of medium-body with a pleasant dryness. There are notes of barley sugars and cereal notes. There are some oily herbal notes with more of that citric acidity developing with a hint of espresso. The finish is quite dry and of medium-length with its gentle cut grasses.

I came to this whisky through Compass Box’s Great King Street. Apparently genius blender John Glaser is fond of using this in some of his Compass Box masterpieces. I was not disappointed. If you are fond of lighter, but ever so subtly sophisticated unpeated scotch, go no further. A thing of beauty.
I have for many years been a piper for Clan Munro USA. I have visted Munro country many times and this is one of my very favorites! Seriously damn good stuff. STEVE ROHE
Sweet smooth and delicious
Teaninich can be very good. This is a good everyday dram, but nothing special.
What a superb malt this is! Largely ignored and unmarketed it is a pearl! A subtle floral nose of citrus, vanilla and barley is followed by a wonderful taste of soft malt and a glorious spicy crescendo. Once again it proves if you want a distillery's true taste then the Flora and Fauna expressions are the ones to choose rather than the obtuse 'finished' versions.
