Speyside Whisky
To some Speyside represents the jewel in whisky’s crown. Speyside is the home of legal whisky production and it’s best known examples. Around the world Glenlivet, Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenrothes and Glenfarclas typify all that whisky, at it’s best has to offer. At it’s heart running from the Monadhliath mountains north to the sea, is the River Spey. It is the fastest flowing river in Britain, and also well known for its salmon fishing.
Speyside is the principal whisky-producing region: Speyside has within it some forty-six operating distilleries - over half the total number in the entire Scotland.
Speysides are essentially sweet whiskies. They have little peaty character They are typically highly perfumed, feminine and elegant.
The classical nature of Speyside’s malts means that a number of the finest malts are used almost exclusively for blending. It is the top Speysider’s that give good blends their ‘Top Dressing’.
Malts such as Mortlach, Glen Elgin, Strathmill and Benrinnes are rarely found as distillery bottlings, however when individual casks are tracked down by independent bottlers such as our Own Selection Single Malt Whiskies the resultant whisky can be quite wonderful.

Description
Distilled in Speyside, a small region in the middle of Scotland famous for its whisky production. The spirit was selected for its Cereal & Fruity style, making it the perfect match for long maturation in the finest Oloroso Sherry Butts delivering a delicate balance of Sweetness & Spice.
This full, deep, and brooding whisky possesses a wonderfully rich texture, each sip offering a well-balanced and heartwarming experience that captivates the senses. Aromas of sun-dried fruits meld with baking spices. The palate is an exploration of richness, layers of spiced fruit cake and honey toast, hints of brown sugar, orange & dark chocolate add complexity on the finish.

Tasting note
Sherry cask maturation takes me back to when I was first exploring whisky, experiencing its dark, oily, and rich flavours. It was a joy to explore the intricate tastes of fruit cake, chocolate, orange, and rich spices. There's a reason why Sherry Cask Maturation is often considered the epitome of luxurious styles, with its indulgent flavour. Our 12 year old Classic Sherry Cask showcases the style in all its glory, bringing me back to that first thrilling taste.
