The Speyside ten year single malt is their most basic single malt variety.

The Speyside is one of the younger distilleries in Scotland, and in fact the founder of The Speyside, George Christie, is still alive today. Despite being scotch whisky neophytes, this distillery prides itself on old-fashioned methods and sacrificing production numbers for quality.

"Pot stills of traditional shape were installed. And because massive production was never one of George's objectives, they are some of the smallest in Scotland." [1]

[edit] Products

The Speyside distillery offers many varieties of scotch whisky in addition to many other distilled spirits. The ten year single malt scotch whisky can be seen to the right, but also come in the temporal varieties of 12, 15, 17, 21, 25 and thirty years. [2]
