Speyside Whisky

Younger than 5 years

Within the Highland region there lies Speyside, taking its name from the river Spey from which many of its distilleries take their water. This region has the highest consentration of distilleries in Scotland.

The spirit produced here can be generalised as the sweetest. What some speyside whiskies may lack in body they make up for in complexity of flavours. You will find a good mix of rich fruit and sweet honeied notes in these whiskies. The Speyside malts are generally more palatable than those of the other regions and a good starting point for beginners.
