SPEYSIDE DISTILLERY Chairman's Choice 40% abv 70cl
This edition of SPEY Chairman's Choice single malt was treated to maturation in a combo of bourbon barrels and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for a rich, fruity profile, layered with chocolate and toffee. This series follows a tradition at the Speyside Distillery started by the founding chairman and passed down to each successive one, tasked with selecting a whisky that embodies the festive season, though it'll be a great sipper all year 'round, we reckon.
Tasting Notes:
Nose - Fresh orchard fruits open the way for jammy berries, candied figs, and dates.
Palate - Plump sultanas, dark fruits, creamy chocolate, and dried orange wheels, with vanilla custard and a touch of treacle toffee in tow.
Finish - Oaken vanilla, stewed fruits, chocolate-dipped cherries, spiced biscuits.
SPEYSIDE DISTILLERY Chairman's Choice 40% abv 70cl
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.
