Tasting Notes

Without water

Colour: A beautiful rich amber hue.

Nose: Initially enticing aromas of ripe black cherry and marzipan. Giving way to candied fruit and rich, creamy butterscotch undertones

Finish: A supremely well-rounded finish with gentle, enduring hints of bitter coffee and muscovado sugar.

With water added

Colour: A gorgeous rich, burnt copper

Nose: The sherry notes now really sing. Fermented sweetness of pineapple and vanilla lead to burnt toffee notes.

Palate: Caramelised crème brulé and panna cotta creaminess, leading to gentler tones of flamed orange peel and spicy clove.

Finish: An exceptionally well rounded and accomplished finish - the toffee, vanilla and caramel notes linger.

About Nyami Nyami

Through the winding valleys of Speyside, the cold blue waters of the River Spey carve their path through the land, their depths holding stories far older than the distilleries that now stand along its banks. Beneath the surface dwells Nyami Nyami, the ancient river god, a vast serpent-like spirit said to command the waters themselves. In legend he is both protector and destroyer, a force of nature who grants prosperity to those under his watch, yet unleashes his strength without warning when angered or denied.

Bound to the river and forever searching for his lost mate, Nyami Nyami moves endlessly through the currents, a solitary guardian whose power can never be fully contained. With a single strike of his mighty tail, the earth trembles and the waters rise, a reminder of the strength that lies beneath the calm surface. Rich, intense, and layered with hidden depth, this whisky reflects the spirit of the river god, smooth yet commanding, complex yet untamed, leaving a long and unforgettable finish.
