SPEYSIDE DISTILLERY 12yo

The idea of a single malt distillery came to industry legend George Christie in the 1950s. Prior to the construction of Speyside he had built the North of Scotland grain plant in Clackmannan, (some of the remaining casks are being eked out under the Scott’s Selection label owned by George’s son Ricky). It would take 30 years for his Speyside dream to become reality.

In 2013 the distillery and the firm was bought by Harvey’s of Edinburgh with Taiwanese backing.

The distillery closed in 2024 and as such is now a 'lost distillery'.  The owners are opening a new distillery in a different location at some point in the future.
