Speyside Scotch Whisky

Speyside scotch whisky is crafted in Scotland’s most densely populated whisky region. Situated within an area famous for fertile valleys and the River Spey, over 50 distilleries produce whiskies famed for their sweet, fruity and somewhat spicy profiles. Considered the driest and warmest area of Scotland, fertile farmlands see ideal conditions for growing barley, which is combined with soft mountain water to produce some of Scotland's best-known malt whiskies like Glenfiddich and Strathisla.
