Speyburn remains the only distillery to draw its water from the Granty Burn, a major tributary of the River Spey. Here, in the secluded, tree-lined valley, the malt whisky rests in American oak ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The resulting whisky is as mellow as its surroundings. There are touches of fresh fruit, hints of toffee and butterscotch, and a long smooth, sweet finish.
