Product Description

Speyburn Bradan Orach Scotch: Bradan Orach 'Golden Salmon' Speyside Malt with Honey, Apple and Soft Spice

Speyburn Bradan Orach Scotch is a non-age-stated Speyside single malt whose Gaelic name means 'golden salmon.' The name pays tribute to the River Spey and the fishing heritage surrounding the distillery.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Bradan Orach was part of Speyburn's accessible core range alongside the 10 Year. Independent tasting records describe a young, fruit-led profile with honey, apple, cinnamon, banana, coconut and soft spice.

This expression is lighter and more direct than an older, heavily sherried malt. It is suited to casual neat pours, soda highballs and simple cocktails where delicate fruit and malt will not be buried.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh berries, pear, honey and soft spice, with vanilla and light malt.

Palate: Cinnamon apple, honey, banana and coconut over youthful malt and gentle oak.

Finish: Moderate and softly spiced, with lingering fruit, honey and a light warming edge.

Food Pairings

• Honey-glazed chicken: sweet glaze mirrors honey while savory meat balances youthful spirit.
• Apple and cheddar: fruit and sharp cheese echo the apple-spice profile.
• Coconut macaroons: coconut reinforces a subtle tropical note without overwhelming the malt.
• Smoked trout: light smoke and oil add depth to the delicate whisky.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, add a small splash of water, or lengthen with soda and lemon. In cocktails, a light Whisky Sour or simple highball is preferable to recipes with strongly bitter or heavily sweet ingredients.

Store upright and sealed in a cool, dark place. Keep the bottle away from high heat and direct sunlight.
