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.
The list of top bottlings that The Whisky Agency has released over the years certainly includes this Glenrothes single malt, a joint bottling with The Whisky Exchange from 2017. The Speysider matured for 20 years in a sherry cask. (51.3%; score: 89.7)

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%)

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%)
