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%.
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%)
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!
This Distillers Edition has matured on bourbon casks and is finished on port casks. So you will find the typical fruit tones and the color of port in this Gragganmore. At 40%.
Craigellachie is specialising in producing single malt whisky finished in exceptional casks. This 13-year-old Old Bas-Armagnac Cask is a prime example of this. The Speysider first matured in bourbon and sherry casks before being finished. (46%)
This Craigellachie single malt whisky was bottled a while ago. It is a bottling in the Flora & Fauna series with which a number of Scottish distilleries present themselves. This bottle is a good introduction to Speysider Craigellachie. 43%
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%.
An exceptional bottling from Gordon & MacPhail, this Craigellachie: the single malt whisky matured for 16 years in a refill sherry puncheon and came out of it at a very high cask strength of 64.5%; the angels have missed the mark this time! A rich dram.
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%)
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%)
For a very nice price you have here a single malt whisky that matured in a very interesting combination of casks. It is a 10-year-old Craigellachie that matured in 1st-fill PX, 2nd-fill Oloroso and de-charred/re-charred bourbon casks. (57.1% = 100 proof)
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.
Until 2024, bottlings appeared in Douglas Laing's Single Minded series a few times a year. In 2014, this Dailuaine single malt whisky, which matured for 7 years in a sherry cask, was released. It is a malt with notes of fruit, sweet malt and fudge. 41.5%
The colour of this whisky reveals that it has been finished in a Pedro Ximénez cask. The Dailuaine single malt whisky bottled by Alistair Walker also has clear PX characteristics in the nose and taste, such as dark chocolate and raisins. (16y, 54.4%)
In this Cask Strength series bottling from Signatory Vintage, a 16-year-old Dailuaine single malt whisky, you can taste meaty 'Speyside' undertones alongside the complexity and depth conjured up by the oloroso sherry cask in which it was finished. (57.0%)
