Speyside Distillery is a small malt whisky distillery equipped with just two stills and is situated near Drumguish and Kingussie and close to the River Tormie, a tributary of the River Spey, near Kingussie in Scotland’s Speyside whisky region.

The aroma and taste of a rich fruit salad in a base of walnuts, fresh cream and berry fruits burst on to the tongue! Sultana raisins, home-made fudge, Granny Smith apples and pear drops all jockey for position! Gradually hints of dark chocolate and vanilla take over. On the tongue this whisky is deliciously sweet yet delicately balanced by bitter dark chocolate. The taste gradually fades in a long fruity finish leaving you ready for more.
