品飲筆記：
N: 人蔘、薰衣草，醒酒一段時間後出現百香果
T: 甜美、人蔘、薰衣草、鹹味、奶油。加點水後人蔘味降低，而花香與甜美明顯提升
F: 舒服的花香，收尾乾淨
Tasting Notes：
From an unknown Speyside distillery. A mighty tropical fruit basket with a dry and waxy side. Drinks like lemonade.
Whiskyfun：89

Maltbarn 挑選的 Speyside 一向頗受好評。歷年來總共裝了 9款，其中就有 7款在 Whiskybase 裡得到 90以上的高分。
而這次最新裝瓶的 Speyside 29yo，也獲得 Whiskyfun: 89分之優良評價，並且還用了 almost perfect、excellent 等稱讚。我們來看看 Serge 是怎麼說的吧：
Speyside 29 yo 1989/2018 (49.1%, Maltbarn, bourbon barrel, 133 bottles)
4.5星 ★★★★☆
顏色：稻稈
香氣：與 1973酒款（註一）明顯是系出同源，而這瓶顯得更新鮮，並帶有更多柑橘和蘋果汁的風味；再加上香草，再加上新鮮杏仁、義大利青醬，結果就成了這支有著神奇新鮮風格的老 Speyside。此外還有葵花油和極少的銅，一點點而已，不多。
口感：幾近完美。新鮮，薄荷感，相當肥潤，有著核桃皮膜、南瓜籽、一點點鹽、很多蘋果汁，以及有意思的茶感，不太容易描述。無論如何，整體來說相當可愛，又具有自己的個性（在部分 Speyside 酒款裡並不總能如此）。
尾韻：相當綿長，麥芽和大麥同時出現。讓我想起了能量棒！最後留下的是柑橘風味。
評論：太棒了！相當的「麥芽」，你可以實際感受到大麥就在那裡。
SGP:551 – 89 points.
註一：目前 Maltbarn 所挑選的9款 Speyside 中，就有5款是1973年份，在 Whiskybase 裡全都超過92分。
原文：
Speyside 29 yo 1989/2018 (49.1%, Maltbarn, bourbon barrel, 133 bottles)
Love squirrels, but friends who live where there are many say they’re a nuisance.
Colour: straw.
Nose: the parentage with the 1973 is pretty obvious, although this one would be fresher, and more on a blend of orange and apple juices. Add vanilla and add fresh almonds, and presto, you’ve got a marvellous fresh old Speysider. We could also mention sunflower oil and just wee ideas of copper. One penny, no more.
Mouth: almost perfect. Fresh, a tad more mentholy now, rather fat, with walnut skins, pumpkin seeds, a touch of salt, more apple juice, and a curious tea-ishness, not easy to describe. Anyway, the whole’s absolutely lovely and rather characterful (not always the case with some Speysiders).
Finish: rather long, malty and barley-y at the same time. Tell me about some energy bar! Oranges are back in the aftertaste.
Comments: excellent, pure ‘malt’. You actually feel the barley.
