Where the last release drew its finish from Islay, this one heads to Speyside - a different part of Scotland, a completely different character.
Expert Description
Grander 14 Year Speyside Finish is a Panama Rum, 14 years old, aged 12 years on ex-bourbon casks followed by 2 years of finishing on an ex-Speyside Scotch Whisky barrel, bottled at 64.3%.
The rum has aged for 14 tropical years in Panama. The first 12 years were spent on ex-bourbon casks before it was moved to an ex-Speyside Scotch Whisky barrel for the final 2 years. The Speyside casks add a softer, more fruit-sweet character than the peated Islay casks, giving this release a markedly different profile from its sister bottle, Peated Finish. The bottle comes from cask number SS2211, undiluted and unfiltered.
Speyside is known as Scotland's most productive whisky region, with a generally lighter, more fruity style ideal than Islay's peated whisky - a contrast that comes through clearly in this rum.

Did You Know?
Speyside is home to more whisky distilleries than any other region in Scotland, and the region's generally lighter, fruitier style gives a markedly different result than the peated Islay finish on the sister bottle in the same series.
