This bottling of a 23-year-old single malt from the Speyside distillery was produced by independent bottler Milroys of Soho as part of the Soho Selection series. The whisky was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2015.
Speyside is a distillery in Drumguish, Speyside, Scotland, which was founded in 1990 by George Christie, but refers to an older distillery in Kingussie, which only existed from 1895 to 1911.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
