Speyside Whisky

Speyside contains more than half of Scotland's distilleries and is situated in the area around Elgin and the river Spey.  Some of the most famous single malts are produced in the Speyside region, including The Macallan and The Glenlivet.  Speyside whiskies can generally be broken down into two categories - big, rich, fruity and sherried or lighter, complex, sweet and floral.
