Playing host to over half the distilleries in Scotland, Speyside has the greatest concentration of malt whisky producers compared to every other whisky-producing region. Because of this, there is great variation in the number of fantastic whiskies distilled in the region, which is awesome as it means there is sure to be a dram for you in the sublime Speyside.
However, most people would typically recognise Speyside Scotch for its two primary styles. Firstly, there is the light, sweet and honeyed single malts of distilleries such as The Glenlivet and Glenfiddich (which are the two best-selling single malt whiskies in the world). A more recent tradition has also emerged in the region of producing the big bodied, sherried drams of distilleries like The Macallan and Glenfarclas. There is so much amazing whisky being made in Speyside all the time, so if you haven’t sampled its delights as of yet, there’s never been a better time get stuck in!
