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.
Gordon & MacPhail had this Glenrothes single malt whisky mature for 11 years in their own sherry casks. You can therefore see this bottling as a co-production of distiller and bottler. The result is a pleasantly drinkable, fruity dram with sherry notes.

Unlike many other Speyside distilleries, Glenrothes released quite some distillery bottlings. The 10- and 12-year-old editions are well-known. In 2024, the distillery released this 18-year-old single malt that matured in 'sherry seasoned oak casks'. (43%)

Taiwanese Whisky AGE has not been around as a bottler for very long yet but has already built up a good name. One of their latest bottlings is this Glenrothes single malt whisky. The Speysider matured in a bourbon cask for 23 years and is bottled at 55.1%
Bottler and whisky promoter The Whisky Baron released this Glenrothes single malt in 2019. The Speysider matured for 12 years in a first-fill sherry cask. The sherry influences are clearly present, but the Glenrothes character remains intact. (57%)
This 20-year-old Glentauchers single malt whisky matured first in a refill cask and then for another 20 months in a first-fill bourbon cask before being bottled by Thompson Bros at 51.9%. A truly fresh, fruity, and sparkling summer whisky. (51.9% ABV)
A creamy dram with notes of citrus, sultanas, coconut, toasted grain, granola, mint and ginger. These notes and more make up the flavour palette of this 18-year-old, bourbon-matured Glentauchers single malt whisky, bottled by Thompson Bros at 52.4%.
If you'd like to try a sherried Speysider, this Glentauchers single malt whisky, bottled by Van Wees, is definitely worth a try, and not just because of its nice price! The whisky matured for 11 years in a refill Oloroso sherry cask. (Attention: 66.5%!)
The curtain finally fell on the Imperial Speyside distillery, which dates back to 1897, in 1998, and new bottlings of this single malt whisky are hardly released anymore. Fortunately, we have one from 2009 on offer! 19 years old, at 53.9%.
The Imperial Distillery, built in Speyside in 1897, closed a century later, in 1998. Of course, independent bottlings of the single malt whisky have continued to appear since then, but fewer and fewer. This one is from 2013. (17y, bourbon matured, 51.2%)
The oystercatcher is the symbol of the single malt whisky bottlings of Speyside distillery Inchgower. The bird features prominently on the label of this bottling from Thompson Bros. The malt matured for no less than 27 years in 2 bourbon casks. (52.3%)
A 13-year-old Inchgower single malt whisky, matured in first-fill oloroso casks at 57.1% ABV, for this price! This is, of course, a bottling from Signatory Vintage's 100 Proof series. Talk about value for money...
With this 12-year-old single malt and for this price, Speyside distillery Knockandopresents a good entry-level whiskey. With the floral and fruity notes of the region and notes of vanilla, raisins and nuts, this is, at 43%, a pleasantly drinkable dram.
From the Richly Matured series, this 15-year-old Knockando aged in bourbon and sherry casks. A fairly complex malt with, besides the floral and fruity Speyside notes, sherry influences such as cinnamon, chocolate and apple sauce. Bottled at 43%.
You don't often come across the single malt whisky from the Speyside distillery Knockdhu as an independent bottling. But here's one from bottler Chapter 7. The malt is 16 years old and it matured in a bourbon cask that produced 334 bottles at 51.5%.
Bottler Van Wees always tries to keep the price of its The Ultimate bottlings manageable, like this 12-year-old Linkwood single malt whisky. It first matured in a bourbon cask and was finished for 21 months in an Oloroso cask. (56.8%)
This is edition no. 68 from Signatory Vintage's 100 Proof series, which stands out for its excellent value. It's a Linkwood single malt whisky matured for 12 years in first- and second-fill Oloroso casks. Bottled at 57.1% (which is 100 proof, of course).
Gordon & MacPhail release bottling series in various categories. The Distillery Labels series, in which this 25-year-old, sherried Linkwood single malt whisky is released, is extra special because it matured in their own, carefully selected G&M casks.
In their favourably priced Cask Craft series, Murray McDavid also released this carefully finished Linkwood single malt whisky. The finishing in PX and oloroso casks enriched the sweet and fruity Speysider with notes such as praline and caramel. (44.5%)
For those looking for a classic, old school sherried whisky, this is a bottle to think about. It is a Macallan single malt whisky that came out quite a while ago already, after having matured for 12 years in carefully selected sherry casks. (40%).
