Speyside single malts are single malt Scotch whiskies, distilled in Strathspey, the area around the River Spey in Moray and Badenoch and Strathspey, in northeastern Scotland.
The two best-selling single malt whiskies in the world, The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich, come from Speyside. Strathspey has the greatest number of distilleries of any of the whisky producing areas of Scotland. Dufftown alone has six working distilleries with an annual capacity of 40.4m litres of spirit.
Scotland’s Malt Whisky Trail is a tourism initiative featuring eight Speyside distilleries and the Speyside Cooperage. Speyside also hosts an annual whisky festival known as “Spirit of Speyside”.
Speyside whiskies can generally be classified as light and grassy (e.g. Glenlivet) or rich and sweet (e.g. Macallan).

Cardhu 12 Year Old 200th Anniversary (70cl, 40%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Cardhu Distillery celebrates its 200th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the distillery is holding an event celebrating the women of Cardhu, and has released a limited-edition expression.

The free event, A Celebration of Cardhu’s Pioneering Women, will be held on International Women’s Day (Friday 8 March). Guests will experience a guided tasting of the anniversary bottling and hear from a panel of experts. The event will also feature a welcome drink, cocktail masterclass, and live music.

The anniversary bottling is 12-year-old Cardhu matured exclusively in ex-wine casks, a first for the distillery. The expression is inspired by the pioneers behind the brand, Helen and Elizabeth Cumming, who are remembered for “defying traditions and pushing boundaries” in the ages of illicit distilling.

The bottle’s packaging depicts Helen Cumming with a red flag, signalling to conspirators to hide illicit stills from authorities.

Roselyn Burnett, Cardhu Distillery brand home manager and event speaker, said: “Cardhu has a history of pioneering women at its forefront, something unheard of when the distillery began 200 years ago. It took innovation and courage to go against the grain in the way the Cumming family did, and with this in our heritage it was only right we did something bold to celebrate such an anniversary.

As a perfect example of the Speyside style of whisky, it was exciting to work with our blending and distilling experts to create an adapted iteration of what people expect from our distillery, while perfecting the liquid to ensure it retains those classic notes which people look for from Cardhu. As one of the few places in the world to stock this limited release, we’re looking forward to welcoming guests who have made the journey to visit us and buy a bottle, be that from Elgin or Ecuador.”

 

Eve Murphy, whisky specialist and panel expert, who led on the development of the anniversary edition, added: “Myself and the team at Cardhu have worked hard to make the 200-year-anniversary bottle something which speaks to the inspiring example which Helen and Elizabeth set two centuries ago. Never afraid to test boundaries, the women who were, and remain, a huge part of Cardhu have once again achieved something special with this beautiful red-wine-cask edition.”

Macallan 1851 Inspiration

Macallan 1851 Inspiration is the final bottle in the set of 5 of Macallan’s famous ‘Replica’ series, the 1851 edition which was bottled in the 2000s. The set of 5 bottles have an interesting back story and include The Macallan Distillers Limited (as it was known at the time) buying a number of old and rare bottles during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
These old bottles were then used as the source to create the replica series where Macallan tried to replicate the nose, the taste and the packaging of some of their bottles from earlier times. They drew a tiny sample from the bottle and together with his team of expert nosers, began to search for whisky which matches the profile.
As well as replicating the whisky they were determined to recreate the 1851 bottle and labels. The challenge for Stolzle Flaconnage was to reproduce the idiosyncratic irregularities of a mid-19th-century mouth-blown bottle with 21st-century technology. To reconstruct the labels, calligrapher Carol Kemp re-drew the individual letters while illustrator Brian Taylor reproduced the sketch.’

This highly collectable, limited release Macallan 1851 Inspiration Replica bottling was designed to recreate the spirit and overall style of Macallan as of 1850s.

Inspired by the production from their own history, Macallan released this bottled based on what they would have been doing in 1851. The bottles were handmade and the corks were placed by hand. As a final touch, the bottles were sealed by wax by hand-dipping.

Glenfiddich 18 Years Old The Valley of the Deer 70cl, 40%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

One of the best releases from one the best selling distilleries in the world. This one litre bottling allows the drinker to savour the subtle complexities of this dram even longer.

Produced by Speyside giants Glenfiddich, this whisky sits close to the top of their standard range, and enjoys a superb reputation with both drinkers and critics alike.

Matured in a mixture of former Bourbon American white oak barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, both of which are reassembled onsite by Glenfiddich’s high skilled coopers, this whisky possesses fabulous balance.

After 18 years of maturation, the effects of the cask are highly apparent on the palate, with both rich vanilla from the Bourbon barrels and dried fruit and spices from the Oloroso cask. Nevertheless, the spirit maintains the classic apple, pear and warm malt flavours that have come to be the trademark of Glenfiddich.

The whisky is bottled in modern rendition of Glenfiddich’s classic triangular bottle shape. With a soft mouthfeel and excellent complexity, this would make a great luxury option of any fans of this mighty distillery.

This whisky has been matured for some time in traditional oak casks before finishing its maturation in sherry casks.
