The Speyside includes the catchment area of the River Spey with its tributaries. It is not the largest whisky region in terms of area, but with its 50 or so active distilleries, Speyside produces around 50% of all Scotch whisky. For that reason, the Speyside is formally regarded as a separate whiskyregio, although it is in the Highlands. A general characteristic of Speyside whisky could be: not smoky, fruity, flowers.
Because most of Tomintoul’s production goes to the blends, the whisky matures mainly in bourbon casks. But in this 16-year-old malt you'll find, in addition to some smoke, sherry influences like red fruit, nuts and marzipan. A nice dram for a nice price.
This 12-year-old single malt whisky from Tomintoul (also called The Gentle Dram) was released in 2021. The Speysider first matured in ex-bourbon casks and was then finished in oloroso sherry casks. A fruity, spicy dram for a nice price.
The Tomintoul Distillery started in the 1960s, and has been releasing bottlings of their single malt whisky since 1974. Third parties also market this Speysider. As Chapter 7 does here with this malt that matured for 11 years in an Amontillado cask. 52.5%
The German bottler Whisky-Fässle regularly manages to select very fine casks. And this bottling is a hit again. It is a 32 year old Tormore single malt whisky. The slightly peated Speyside-malt matured in a bourbon cask and was bottled at 44.1%.
As far as we can judge it, this Tormore single malt whisky has matured on a bourbon barrel. And that for 26 years, that is on the label of this Berry Bros & Rudd bottling. The Speyside malt is bottled at cask strength: 44.5%.
Tormore is one of the few Speyside distilleries to make a (lightly) peated single malt whisky. In this bottling of Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, the peated character gets more accent because the malt matured for 9 years in a 'peated' cask. (47,5%)
