Ferments are long; distillation slow. The result is a light style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirtually unseen as a single malt – it has appeared under the Drumguish and Glentromie labels and is the liquid in the Loch Dhu ‘homage’ Cu Dubh – the distillery’s whisky is still further travelled than many of its compatriots. The mature spirit has appeared, incognito, in blends across Asia, has been launched in Mongolia, is a single malt range (called ‘Spey’) in Taiwan, and has been added to neutral spirit to produce Bhutanese whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.scotchwhisky.com\/images\/media\/bc7e8b4ee51dd45ee01482cd13189f37.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013 the distillery and the firm was bought by Harvey’s of Edinburgh with Taiwanese backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speyside Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524494414149,"sku":"000657","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4821926929_17ee681f-2908-4b80-b543-88313b0c43ac.jpg?v=1746552631","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/speyside-distillery-14-year-old-celebrating-90-years-of-the-royal-air-force-1918-2008-the-whisky-connoisseur-speyside-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2008-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
