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.
This bottle dates back to the time when 'single malt' was called 'pure malt', and when Cadenhead still bottled in dumpy bottles. The bottle contains a 16-year-old Benromach single malt whisky, at the time intended for the Italian market. (45.7%, 75cl)
Released of the 20th anniversary of Benromach. Distilled in the first year (1998) of the reopened Benromach distillery and now bottled 20 years later in 2018 to celebrate this milestone.
Benromach is not averse to experimenting. This is also the case with this edition in their Contrast series. The single malt whisky is distilled from barley malt with a high enzyme content, a malt normally used for grain whisky. (12y, bourbon aged, 46%)
This is a bottle from batch #3 of Benromach 2014 single malt whisky in the Cask Strength series. The malt aged for about 10 years in sherry and bourbon casks. A full-bodied dram with notes like stewed fruit, marmalade, a hint of smoke and aniseed. (60.6%)
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%.
This 26-year-old Braes of Glenlivet (also called Braeval) was released in 2021 behind a whimsical label, as a bottling of the Taiwanese The Whisky Blues. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in a barrel and is bottled at 51.1% cask strength.
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%)
This is a great opportunity to taste the single malt whisky from the Caperdonich Distillery, which closed in 2002. This bottle is part of the 2008 Chairman's Stock bottling from Cadenhead. The Speysider matured for 27 years in a bourbon cask. (56.8%)
To the regret of many whisky lovers, the Caperdonich Distillery closed in 2002. Ten years later, this Director's Cut bottling from Douglas Laing was released: a 30 (!) year old, refill sherry cask-matured Caperdonich single malt. (50.9%, score: 90.1)
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%.
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!
Cragganmore is the Speyside representative in Diageo's Classic Malts of Scotland. Independent bottlings of the single malt whisky are also released, including this 27-year-old, sherry cask-matured edition from Archives from 2016. (only 70 bottles, 48.7%)
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%
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 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!
