Speyside

Speyside whisky is known for its elegant, fruit-forward style and refined balance. Located in northeastern Scotland around the River Spey, this region is home to the largest concentration of distilleries in the country. Many Speyside single malts are matured in sherry casks, creating rich notes of dried fruit, honey, vanilla and spice. Distilleries such as Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet and Aberlour have helped define the classic Speyside profile enjoyed by whisky drinkers around the world.
