Speyside 14 Yrs

Fruity aromas. A fine after dinner dram.

Aromas of raspberries in a wooden bowl, red apples, cherries and vanilla,
raisins and the inside of a tea chest. Mouth drying with notes of cigar boxes, cloves and polished leather. Spicy and slightly dry in the finish.
May live up to a nice cigar and classifies as a fine after dinner dram.

Speyside distillery started to produce in 1990 but its history goes back to 1956 when George Christie acquired a piece of land near Kingussie. He commissioned dry stone dyker Alex Fairlie to hand build a distillery on the site, which work commenced in 1962. It took 28 years to complete the works, during which time the distillery changes ownership. The company was taken over two more times and is now owned by Harvey’s of Edinburgh International.

In 2025 production ceased altogether, the buildings have been taken down and a new
distillery (which will bear a different name) will arise about 20 miles from the current site. So, all Speyside single malts bottled by Saltire now come from a ‘lost’ distillery, which makes these expressions truly rare!
