September 2015 – The Speyside Region

Speyside, the undisputed center for whisky in Scotland, boasts the highest concentration of distilleries with more than half the distilleries in Scotland being located there. Although the Speyside region is geographically part of the Highlands, it is considered a separate region because of its unique characteristics. The region receives its name from the river Spey, which cuts through the area. Many of the distilleries use water straight from the river Spey or streams that flow into it in their production process. Speyside scotches are thought to be the country’s most complex, and are known for their sweetness and elegant flavors and aromas. We’ve already begun selecting our flight.
