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.
Fruit notes such as ripe apple, mandarin orange and raspberry, notes such as black pepper, cloves and, for example, beeswax, you'll find all this and more in this extraordinary Benromach bottling. The 40-year-old single malt whisky is bottled at 56.5%.
Bottler Gordon & MacPhail saved the then-closed Benromach Distillery from oblivion by purchasing it in 1993. Often unusual bottlings followed that made the brand known, such as this bourbon-aged single malt whisky distilled from organic barley. (43%)
Take a cask of The Balvenie single malt whisky, add a teaspoon of Glenfiddich malt, and behold: a cask of Burnside blended malt! After 28 (!) years of maturation, the Taiwanese bottler Whisky Age extracted 224 bottles from that bourbon cask at 48% ABV.
In 2002, the Speyside distillery Caperdonich closed; this Cadenhead's bottling dates from long before that. Sometime in the 1980s, this 17-year-old Speyside single malt appeared on the Italian market in a 75cl Dumpy Bottle. (bottled at 45.7% ABV)
The Bottlers, a very high-scoring bottler, hardly release any bottlings anymore (the last one in 2015, as far as we know), but in 2004, they released this 27-year-old single malt whisky from the Caperdonich Distillery that closed in 2002. (54.3%)
Cardhu was one of the first distilleries to launch its own single malt bottlings in the 1960s. The single malt whisky has since been released in several Diageo Special Releases. The 2021 edition is 14 years old and is finished in red wine casks. (55.5%)
This is a standard bottling from Speyside distillery Cardhu. This single malt whisky has matured for 18 years in bourbon and sherry casks and is bottled at 40% ABV. That makes this a typical, fruity and round Speysider, a pleasantly drinkable dram.
You can find distillery bottlings of Cardhu single malt whisky in most liquor stores, but bottlings like this... This is a real collector's item: the Speysider was vatted in 1973. After 27 years of maturation, it was bottled at a cask strength of 60.2%.
The name Coleburn, in relation to single malt whisky, no longer means much to many people. The Speyside Distillery closed in 1985 and there have never appeared many bottlings of their whisky. That makes this 21-year-old Rare Malts edition unique! (59.4%)
Where can you come across bottles like this anymore? Well, with us! Some still mourn the closing of the Convalmore Distillery in 1985. Rightly so! This 26-year-old Convalmore single malt whisky can certainly soothe that sadness! (bottled at 46%)
A mild, fruity and 'modest' Speysider, this Cragganmore 12. No spectacle in your glass, but a balanced complexity. Fruit and heather, a hint of grains, honey, toffee and the spiciness of oak. A dram to give a chance!
Rich in taste, light, creamy oak, grassy, plums, fruit, complex woody ... the reviews tumble over each other. There is a lot to taste in this 17-year-old Craigellachie single malt whisky that matured in casks of American oak. At 46%.
The Craigellachie distillery is over 125 years old, but has long maintained a low profile with its single malt whisky. Nowadays they release bottlings themselves, but there are still independent bottlings such as this 16-year-old from Maltbarn. (53.1%)
The label shows a bottle with the inscription: 'Same But Different Beard Oil'. Yet we are talking about a 15-year-old Craigellachie single malt whisky, bottled by Thompson Bros, fruity, with banana and notes of malt, grist and charred oak. (51.6%)
Specially released for the Dutch market, but of course available worldwide through us: a 13-year-old Craigellachie single malt whisky at cask strength (55.3%), matured in a bourbon cask. Taste tropical fruit, baked apple, mature oak, pepper and much more.
Always funny, those labels by Whisky AGE, but of course it's about the content of their bottles. And there's nothing wrong with that! Take this Craigellachie single malt whisky: it matured for 15 years in a cask that previously contained Caol Ila. (54.2%)
The Taiwanese Whisky AGE bottled this Craigellachie single malt whisky in 2022 after it had matured in a bourbon cask for 13 years. An uncomplicated, accessible dram. Notes of yellow fruit, nuts and citrus, malty notes next to wood and spices. (53.8%)
You can get this 10-year-old Craigellachie single malt whisky for a very reasonable price. The Speysider matured in a bourbon cask and was bottled at cask strength (52.1%) by Whiskybroker in 2023 and released in their Creetown Distillers series.
This Dailuaine single malt whisky is finished in good old European oak Oloroso sherry casks. It matured for a total of 10 years before being bottled by James Eadie at 48.3% as a tribute to the Speyside whisky region. For a great price!
This Dailuaine single malt whisky matured in a refill sherry cask for 24 years. It was an active cask because the whisky came out at a cask strength of only 41.6%. This resulted in notes such as fruitcake, orange, ginger, black pepper, and aniseed.
The color of this single malt whisky suggests that it matured in sherry casks, the label refers to two hogsheads, which usually indicates bourbon casks. Anyway, this Dailuaine matured for 24 years in those casks and was bottled at cask strength: 57.6%.
Although one of the larger single malt whisky distilleries in the Speyside, Dailuaine is not very well known. They hardly release distillery bottlings. So we have to look at bottlers like Van Wees, with this 13-year-old dram, for example, bottled at 46%.
Dailuaine has hardly ever released bottlings of their own product, but it is one of the larger distilleries in the Speyside. To get to know this single malt whisky better, this Chapter 7 bottling is very suitable. It aged for 11 years in a bourbon cask.
