About Speyburn Distillery
Speyburn describes itself as a light, classic Speyside style single malt. Founded in 1897 at the height of a whisky boom the distillery is fairly large given the fact it is not that well known, producing 4.5 million litres with most of that going towards Blended Scotch Whisky production. Poorly known though it may be, Speyburn has outsold each of its sister distilleries (Old Pulteney, Balblair and anCnoc aka Knockdhu) every year since 2005. The distillery underwent a major expansion in 2015 and rebranded over the course of 2017/18. Those new whiskies have now landed in Alberta!
One interesting fact, Speyburn was the first distillery in Scotland to move away from floor maltings. In 1898 they installed a drum maltings which was used until the late 1960s. The equipment is still available to be seen, protected by Historic Scotland.
750ml mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Dried fruits, orange peel, Grand Marnier, red rose tea, shortbread cookies, and fennel fronds.
Palate: Juicy with plenty of spice. Ginger candy, more orange peel, toasted raisin bread, dried cherries, milk chocolate, peaches and cream, and a touch of caraway seed and salt.
Finish: Slightly drying, but still juicy at the same time. More chocolate and cherry notes on the finish.
Comment: The fruit and chocolate notes on this dram are delicious. Great balance at 46%.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Hints of rich dark chocolate with spicy notes of raisins, zesty citrus fruits and vanilla.
Taste: On the palate there are notes of oranges, toffee, vanilla and leather, all wrapped together with a gentle spice. The long lasting finish has a warming spice which is sweet and creamy.

This bottle was featured on Day 21 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can read the post on it here.
Part of the new Old Pulteney range released late in 2018, the 15-year-old is matured in both Ex-Bourbon & Ex-Sherry and is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Matured for 15 years, this is our most balanced and smooth single malt. Balancing two different sides of the flavour spectrum, this single malt marries these perfectly, whilst also reflecting our coastal home and its unwavering influence.
On one hand, this is an intense single malt, yet at the same time, it is truly balanced.
Spice and sweetness unite in this naturally rich amber whisky to celebrate rich flavours, yet lighter, more refreshing coastal notes show another side of this single malt."

Part of the new Balblair core range, which has dropped the vintage concept in favour of age statements. Bottled at 46% after maturing in ex-Bourbon and 1st fill Spanish Sherry Butts.
Producer Description: "Tropical and mature, with the texture of melted chocolate and one of the finest finishes a single malt can bring, this stunning whisky calls for quiet admiration. Round and velvety, yet developed and fresh. Smoothed over by time, but with a beating heart."
