SPEYBURN - 10 ans - 40%
While hunting for the perfect spot for his distillery, John Hopkins discovered the Granty Burn - an untouched stream hidden in a secluded Speyside valley. He knew that the exceptionally pure water of this burn would produce a remarkable whisky with a naturally refreshing character. Hopkins trusted his intuition and built the Speyburn distillery right there in the glen, using authentic river stones from the bed of the fast-flowing River Spey itself. Set in a steep valley with limited space, the distillery had to be built vertically over three levels with layered mesh drying floors if it was to fit into the narrow space.
Speyburn 10 year-old single malt is matured in a combination of American Oak ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.
