This is a firm, nutty and fruity malt with bruised apples and sugar-sprinkled baked pastry emerging on the nose. The mouth-feel expands nicely to deliver cider apples and toasted crumpet notes, with a dash of honey to bind it nicely. This is full, fruity and malty to the last with a good long finish.

Teaninich is to be found near the Cromarty Firth in the North East Highlands. Founded in 1817 by Captain High Munro, the distillery produces malt whisky in high demand from blenders. The mashing process is different here as they use a mash filter rather than the conventional mash tun to extract the worts.
