Speyside Whisky

Speyside has more whisky distilleries than any other part of Scotland, clustered along the River Spey and its tributaries. It's known for elegant, fruity single malts and for sherry cask maturation, which gives many Speyside whiskies their rich notes of dried fruit, spice and chocolate.

Shop the region's great names: Macallan, family-owned Glenfarclas, Glenfiddich and Benromach, plus rare independent bottlings from Elgin-based Gordon & MacPhail. Love the sherried style? See our sherry cask whisky collection, or compare with neighbouring Highland whisky.

Frequently asked questions

What does Speyside whisky taste like?

Typically fruity and elegant, with notes of apple, pear, honey and vanilla. Sherry-cask Speysides such as Macallan and Glenfarclas are richer, with dried fruit, toffee and spice.

Is Speyside whisky peated?

Mostly not. Benromach is one of the few Speyside distilleries to use lightly peated barley, which gives it a gentle smoky edge.

Why are Macallan prices so varied?

Macallan ranges from widely available bottlings to very limited releases and decades-old whisky. Age, cask type, rarity and collector demand all drive the price.

Do you offer trade pricing on Speyside whisky?

Yes. Bars, restaurants, hotels and retailers can ask for trade pricing on any bottle in this collection.
