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.
Mortlach distils their spirit not two or three times, but 2.81 times, which gives the single malt whisky a profile of its own. Gordon & MacPhail is known as a very good bottler. When added together, this guarantees a fine dram. 24 years old and at 46%.
Signatory Vintage's Small Batch series is known for its good bottlings at a good price. This is edition no. 15: a 10-year-old Mortlach single malt whisky finished in first-fill PX casks. A creamy, nicely sherried and well-balanced dram. (48.2%)
Specially bottled by Berry Bros & Rudd for the members of Whiskybase: so pay attention to this Ruadh Maor! You don't often come across a single malt whisky of that name! Just 120 bottles of this 9-year-old peated Glenturret, aged in a sherry cask (63.9%).
Okay, from which of the 50 or so Speyside distilleries does this single malt whisky come? No idea. We do know that this malt aged for no less than 28 years in a bourbon cask, which means that the ABV percentage is almost at the critical limit: 40.1%!
At 64.8% cask strength, this celebratory bottling from Whiskybase (120,000 bottles in its database) from 2019 is a big boy. It's an 11-year-old, sherry-matured single malt whisky from an unnamed Speyside distillery (we're guessing Glenrothes).

It doesn't matter that the Speyside distillery has to remain a secret: the fact that the Thompson Brothers selected this single malt whisky gives us enough confidence. An excellent daily dram, matured for 11 years in 2 refill sherry casks. (48.5%)
The Distillery Reserve Collection features special bottlings from distilleries owned by the Chivas Brothers, such as this single-cask bottling of Strathisla. The single malt whisky matured for 13 years in a first-fill sherry cask. (58.3% cask strength)
The Strathmill Distillery has virtually no bottlings of its own, so we rely on bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail for their single malt whisky. In their Connoisseurs Choice series, they release this 14-year-old, bourbon-aged Strathmill. (55.3%)
Speyside distillery Tamdhu makes its single malt whisky to mature almost exclusively in sherry casks. This also applies to his 12-year-old standard bottling. For those who love sherried whisky: this is a pleasantly drinkable, nicely balanced dram.
Speyside distillery Tamdhu, specialized in sherryed single malt whisky, releases a whisky with a modern profile. It matured in sherry casks for 15 years. In addition to the abundant sherry influences, this also results in an oily mouthfeel.
Douglas Laing has several series in its Old Particular bottlings. The Midnight Series is one of them. This 15-year-old, sherry-matured Tamdhu single malt whisky is from this series. Experience notes of chocolate, cherries, fruitcake and cinnamon. (54.6%)
The bottle looks old, the label shows an old car, and the bottle contains a whopping 29-year-old Tamdhu single malt whisky. It is a bottling from the famous Moon-Import, a bottling that scores more than 89 points on Whiskybase. This is a 'must have'! 43%
The first batches of Tamdhu's Cigar Malt immediately scored very well. The name Cigar Malt refers to those 'old school' sherried single malt whiskies from the last century that were perfect to enjoy with an exclusive cigar. This is Batch 4. (53.8%)
An oldie, this Tamdhu single malt whisky. Not in terms of age, we don't know that, but in terms of bottling year (2005). This Tamdhu was once the cheapest entry-single malt on the market. Now no longer the cheapest, but still a good entry-level dram. 40%
The Tamnavulin Distillery is one that was built to meet the demand from whisky blenders for single malt whisky. But apart from blends, you can also taste Tamnavulin 'pure', for example with bottlings like this 14-year-old one from Cadenhead. (46%)
Little is known about the Dutch bottler Sherwoods, except that it bottles standard at cask strength. We think this is its fourth bottling. It is a 13-year-old Tamnavulin single malt whisky at 57.6%, that matured in a bourbon hogshead. Curious?
A good introduction to the single malt whisky from Speyside distillery Tamnavulin, this Double Cask edition. Certainly also considering the price. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was finished in sherry casks. At 40% no powerhouse, but a light dram

Tomintoul whisky has a light profile. Almost the entire production is for the blends, but 2% is bottled as single malt. Like this 10 year old. With its floral, fresh-fruity notes and hints of wood, honey and vanilla a nice 'all day dram'.
Because most of Tomintoul’s production goes to the blends, the whisky matures mainly in bourbon casks. But in this 16-year-old malt you'll find, in addition to some smoke, sherry influences like red fruit, nuts and marzipan. A nice dram for a nice price.
The Tomintoul Distillery started in the 1960s, and has been releasing bottlings of their single malt whisky since 1974. Third parties also market this Speysider. As Chapter 7 does here with this malt that matured for 11 years in an Amontillado cask. 52.5%
Not much is known about this Tomintoul Cigar Malt single malt whisky. It is a special distillery bottling, matured in sherry casks. But for the picture here are some notes that tasters tasted: anise, juniper, dried fruit, tobacco, mild smoke and peat.
