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.
In 2016 Speyside Distillery BenRiach released the first batch in their Peated Cask Strength series. So, peated in contrast to their usual single malt whisky. And at cask strength (here 56%). The malt matured in small (quarter) and Oloroso sherry casks.
A Small Batch bottling from James Eadie of a 9-year-old Benrinnes single malt whisky. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was bottled at 46%. A fruity nose with grapes and apple, and then notes of vanilla, pastry and orchard fruit. For a nice price.
Interesting! A distillery bottling of Benrinnes single malt whisky with vintage 1974! This Speysider was bottled in 1996, at the age of 21. You can find this bottling here and there, but nowhere for such a competitive price as in our shop!
The selectors at Signatory Vintage have proven to have a good nose for casks. This will be no different with this single malt whisky from Speyside distillery Benrinnes. In those casks, two bourbon hogsheads, the malt matured for 25 years. (56.9%)
Anyone who wants to taste Benrinnes single malt whisky has mainly to rely on independent bottlings. A good example of such a bottling is this one from Blackadder. The 16-year-old Speysider is a by finishing beautifully sherried, rich dram. (54.7% ABV)
Deze 10-jarige, op een bourbonvat gerijpte Benrinnes is in 2014 door Blackadder uitgebracht in de Raw Cask-serie. In de single malt-whisky vind je tonen als anijs, melkchocola en munt maar ook fruitige tonen als peer en pruimen en een vleugje rook. 57,6%

Aged in bourbon and sherry casks, this 15-year-old Benromach has a beautifully balanced palette of sherry flavors with vanilla, orange and ginger, with subtle chamomile and menthol notes in between. Bottled at 43%. With newly designed label.
Distillery Benromach usually releases unpeated single malt whisky, but sometimes a smoky variant appears, such as this Peat Smoke from 2007. It matured for 7 years in fresh bourbon casks, resulting in a nice combination of fruity and smoky notes. (46%)
This is the Double Matured edition of Benromach's Contrasts series: the single malt whisky aged for 7 years in bourbon and for 5 years in Bordeaux casks. This produced notes like honey, flowers, forest fruits, a hint of peat smoke and toasted oak. (46%)
In the Contrasts series, Benromach has released two bottlings of their virgin oak matured single malt whisky. This bottling matured for 10 years in air-dried virgin oak casks: vanilla fudge, citrus blossom, oak, peppermint, and subtle smoke (46%).

Just as bourbon matures in virgin American oak, so did this Benromach single malt whisky in the Contrasts bottling series. The Speyside malt matured in this oak for 10 years, resulting in a very pleasantly drinkable dram. (46%)
This is a bottle of batch #2 of Benromach 2014 single malt whisky in the Cask Strength series. The Speysider matured for 9 years in sherry and bourbon casks. A full dram with characteristic notes of stewed fruit, citrus and a hint of smoke (59.7%)
The subtle smoke that characterizes Benromach single malt whisky and the influence of both the bourbon and sherry casks on which it matured provide a rich palette of notes. The maturation period of 21 years certainly plays a role in this. Bottled at 43%.
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%)

There is no Burnside distillery, so what's behind that name? Well, simply, it's Balvenie single malt whisky with a teaspoon of Glenfiddich mixed in. This bourbon-aged Burnside is certainly not ordinary at 28 years old and a Whiskybase-score of 90! (47.8%)
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.
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%)
Remarkable: it was only after it closed in 2002 that The Caperdonich Distillery released bottlings of its own single malt whisky. This is a 21 year old one in the Small Batch Release series. Also special: it is a peated version! Bottled in 2019 at 48%.
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.
