Each release is a classic expression of the area from which they have been produced and each expression is a vatting of 10 Hogsheads.

Speyside is often considered Scotland’s sweetest and most approachable region. Wherever you go, they’ll introduce you to a dram, and probably something the locals call a ‘breakfast whisky’ soon enough. Home to around 50 distilleries, over a third of Scotland’s total, the area covers a 50-mile strip between Inverness and Aberdeen, around the River Spey. For that, most distilleries have their own water source, of which they are immensely proud.

The honeyed and fruity character of Speyside whiskies make them highly sought after, and the banks of the Spey accommodate many of the country’s best-known stills.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Fruity, floral and citrusy lemon slice.

Palate: Syrupy toffee with a touch of saltiness.

Finish: Cinnamon on baked apples and pears.
