Description

Teaninich is a Highland malt distillery that is part of the Diageo Scotch whisky holdings. Opened in 1817, it almost exclusively provides fillings for blends, and despite several expansions, this remains the case today. The 10-year-old Flora & Fauna is one of the few official single malt releases, offering a rare glimpse into the distillery's character. It is known for its clean, grassy, and vibrant spirit, matured in refill American oak ex-bourbon casks.

The clean, precise character sounds appealing, especially the fruit alongside malt and vanilla. There’s enough gentle oak spice to add interest without taking over, which suits a more restrained style.

The appeal here is the balance of clear orchard fruit and malt with vanilla and honey, rather than a heavy or forceful style. Mild oak spice keeps the palate from feeling too soft, while the dry finish brings hay and gentle pepper into the picture. That makes this seem approachable without being bland. The finish has enough contrast to hold interest, though its dry, lightly spicy character may suit some tastes more than a sweeter close.

The clean malt and apple-and-pear fruit give this a straightforward, easy-to-follow character, while the dry oak spice on the finish adds a little contrast. That balance suits my preference for clear, measured flavours.
