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.
