About this SPIRIT
Glenrinnes Distillery
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
This organic London dry gin is made with 11 botanicals; juniper berries, cowberry and sorrel are the most prominent. On the nose, juniper flavours dominate, with hints of fresh pine and citrus behind. In the mouth, sweet juniper comes together with tart red berries and citrus, finishing with hints of black tea and warm spices. The gin is brought down to bottling strength with Glenrinnes spring water; it’s drawn from the Clashmarloch spring, located at the foot of Ben Rinnes.
