Speyside

A region renowned for its versatility and the vast diversity of its scotch whisky, Speyside scotch whiskies are generally categorized in two ways - the complex, silky, sweeter sherried varieties produced by the likes of the Macallan, and the more modest, lighter whiskies by distilleries such as Glenlivet. It is true that some distilleries are capable of producing Scotch that lies at either end of the spectrum, Glenfiddich to give an example, but Speyside is known as a specialist region, and is undoubtedly a specialist when it comes to quality and exceptional craftsmanship.
