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.
For several years now Glenfiddich is releasing single malt whisky bottlings according to the solera system originating from the sherry world. In short: each new bottling is mixed with the remains of all previous bottlings! All bottlings are 15 years old.
Glenfiddich is the best-selling single malt whisky in the world with 10 million bottles annually. That is not to say that they only think in terms of large batches. For example, this is a Small Batch edition. Aged for 18 years in sherry and bourbon casks.
In a secret session, 20 whisky connoisseurs each picked out a cask of Glenfiddich malt whisky. There were casks such as port pipes, bourbon barrels and virgin oak. The contents of the 20 casks together yielded this Project XX bottling. A unique edition!
The Glenlivet Nàdurra (nature) bottlings are appreciated by many. For example, this edition from 2013 has a score of over 87 at whiskybase.com. The Speyside single malt whisky matured for 16 years in a first-fill bourbon cask and was bottled at 56.1% ABV.

A great whisky for a warm summer evening, this Glenlivet. Bottled at 40% this is a light, tasty Speyside with notes of vanilla, apple, banana, certainly not complex. And for a reasonable price this is also a nice entry-level whisky.

The Connoisseurs Choice series from Gordon & MacPhail is not called that for nothing. The bottlings that appear in it score very well on average. That will certainly also apply to this 16-year-old, bourbon-matured Glentauchers single malt whisky. (56.8%)
Quality bottler Whisky AGE from Taiwan released 233 bottles of the solid Speyside malt Glentauchers. The single malt whisky matured for 15 years in a 1st-fill bourbon barrel before being bottled at a cask strength of 54.6%. A funny label is included.

Glentauchers is producing a fine Speyside single malt since 1898, but with almost all of the whisky going into blends, the brand remained in the shadows. Fortunately, there are bottlings like this: 12 years old, bourbon-matured, virgin-oak finish, 56.3%.
People who have already tasted this Glentauchers describe it as a rich, delicate, and elegant dram. The single malt whisky was bottled in 2023 by Chorlton Whisky after maturing for at least 26 years in a bourbon cask. (bottled at 51.5% cask strength)
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%)
Almost all bottlings of Inchgower single malt whisky come from independent bottlers. This bottling is an exception because it was released in 2004 after 27 years of maturation as a Rare Malts Selection from distillery owner Diageo. (bottled at 55.6% ABV)
