Speyside is the largest section of the shop. Macallan has more bottles here than any other distillery, followed by Glenfiddich, Glenallachie, Glenfarclas, Balvenie, Glenlivet and Aberlour. Beyond the famous names there are Mortlach, Benromach, Glen Grant, BenRiach and Craigellachie, plus many malts usually found only in blends or independent bottlings: Linkwood, Benrinnes, Dailuaine, Miltonduff, Glenburgie and Mannochmore. Closed Caperdonich also appears.
Speyside covers the valley of the River Spey and its tributaries, around Dufftown, Rothes, Aberlour, Elgin and Keith. It holds about half of Scotland's malt distilleries. The house style is fruity, honeyed and often sherried, with little or no peat, though there are exceptions: Benromach and BenRiach both make peated spirit.
Speyside is where sherry cask maturation is most closely followed. Macallan built its name on Spanish oak sherry casks; Glenfarclas, run by the Grant family since 1865, and Aberlour's cask strength A'bunadh are also known for the style. Glenfiddich, first distilled by William Grant in Dufftown in 1887, and its neighbour Balvenie remain with the same family company.
Speyside single malts are usually fruity, sweet and smooth, with notes of apple, pear, honey and vanilla, and dried fruit and spice when matured in sherry casks. Most are unpeated or only lightly peated. Styles still vary widely, from light Glenlivet to heavy, meaty Mortlach.
Speyside has around fifty working malt whisky distilleries, about half of all the malt distilleries in Scotland. They cluster along the River Spey around towns such as Dufftown, Rothes, Aberlour and Elgin. Many of them make whisky mainly for blends and are rarely bottled as single malts by their owners.
Yes. Macallan is a Speyside distillery at Easter Elchies near Craigellachie, licensed in 1824. It is best known for maturing in sherry-seasoned oak casks, and its Sherry Oak, Double Cask and limited editions are among the most collected single malts.
Macallan has released several 20 year old whiskies over the years, mostly sherry cask matured, with dried fruit, orange peel, chocolate and wood spice. The exact character depends on the edition and bottling year, so check the label and description for the series and cask type before buying.
Most Speyside whisky is unpeated, but some distilleries make peated spirit. BenRiach and Benromach both release peated single malts, and some independent bottlings of other Speyside distilleries are made from peated runs. A peated Speyside is usually gentler and fruitier than a typical Islay malt.
Aberlour A’bunadh is a cask strength single malt from Aberlour in Speyside, matured in Spanish oloroso sherry butts and bottled without chill filtration. It is released in numbered batches, each with a slightly different strength and flavour, so the batch number on the label identifies the exact bottle.
