This bottling of an 18-year-old Speyburn single malt was produced as an original bottling of the distillery. The whisky matured in American and Spanish oak casks and was bottled in 2023.
The distillery was founded in 1897 by John Hopkins and is located north of the town of Rothes ind er Speyside. Its water comes from the Granty Burn, a tributary of the river Spey.
It is still privately owned by Inver House Distillers Ltd.
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.
