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).

Macallan Rare Cask (2024 Release) (70cl, 43%)
A rare and special discovery, this single malt is created from rare casks of The Macallan to have an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour, an intense sweet raisin flavour and a rich velvety mouthfeel.
The Rare Cask 2024 Release is released with limited availability worldwide.
Seeking the Exceptional
Every cask of exceptional single malt whisky maturing at The Macallan Estate has its own personality, with little nuances which make them unique.
From time to time our whisky makers come across casks maturing in warehouses which stand out from the others in a very particular way.
These hand-selected casks are a rare and special discovery.
Rare Cask is created from oak casks which exhibit incredibly rich, smooth complexity, highlighted through a sweet raisin note. These rare casks of The Macallan have an entirely natural deep ruby mahogany colour, and an intense and highly complex flavour profile.
Discovering the parallels between sound, aroma, flavour and colour explored through the shared element of wood, for this release we came together with renowned musician, Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds, to explore a sensorial world.
Charlie’s ability to identify rare tasting notes such as raisin, is similar to how he both composes and plays music. He explores how Rare Cask might sound through working with a Luthier in the South of Spain to create a guitar crafted from the same European Oak wood as The Macallan Casks are crafted from.
Together, we discover the core synergies of a great creation, and how interactions with a work of art in both realms of music and the craft of whisky making aren’t so distant from one another.

Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Batch OL0614 (70cl, 60.7%)
The Nàdurra range uses traditional 19th-century production methods to create inventive and original whiskies. This version is matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry oak casks from the Spanish region of Perez. The sherry-soaked wood introduces the rich, sultry flavours of dried fruit and warm spice. Nàdurra Oloroso, like all expressions in the range, is bottled and released in small batches, and, unlike most modern whiskies, is non-chill filtered so has all the body you would expect from a whisky that has been drawn straight from the cask. It’s a bright, vivacious gold liquid, with aromas of dried fruit and spice. To drink, it’s smooth and creamy with chocolate and marmalade. This is a divine example of what happens when you bring together Spanish passion and Speyside tradition. This whisky is all about using traditions to achieve modern brilliance. The Nàdurra Oloroso is also bottled at 48% for Travel Retail.
Excellent oloroso sherry cask-matured single malt from Glenlivet’s Nàdurra range – bottled without chill-filtration or additional colours. Wonderful stuff by Glenlivet, as per usual.

Aberlour 13 Year Old 2006 Distillery Reserve Collection Single Cask Edition 50cl, 60.9%
The Reserve Collection has been created to replace the Cask Strength series of bottlings from Chivas Brothers. These Single Cask editions are only available at Chivas Brothers distilleries.
This whisky was distilled on 11th December 2006 and matured in single 1st fill butt #251744 before being bottled in July 2020.
A 13 year old Aberlour from the Distillery Reserve Collection. This Single Cask Edition was distilled on 11th December 2006 and bottled on 14th July 2020 from a 1st fill butt.
This roaring success could be attributed to the delicate berry-flavour spirit that runs from its swan-necked stills, or to the enormous popularity of its heavily sherried A’bunadh batch releases. Perhaps even the fact that the Distillery Manager used to serenade the slumbering casks with the soothing tones of the bagpipes. Okay, maybe not the last thing!
