The bottle clearly states that it's a Speysider of the St Andrews Distillery, but I cannot find any info on it. There is a St Andrews Glen in Scotland, so I guess that's where it originates from. There is even an Ardoch Roman Camp. We must be close. Anyway, the bottle is only available in Austria, it seems, for less than 20 EUR.

The nose is rather soft with pears, heather herbs and a touch of peat. A tiny whiff of citrus if you have enough patience.

The tast is very light with little body, albeit somewhat oily. Not a lot of mouthfeel. Rather... ordinary. The heather herbs are the only discernable flavour. One-dimensional.

The finish is shot and fas forgotten.

I wasn't expecting a stunner for this price, but this is truly a weak dram in my book. Should anyone have more info on this bottle, please do enlighten me, thanks!
