Speyburn Whisky 10-year-old 70cl

There are many distilleries that claim to be the "most beautifully situated distillery in Scotland". Speyburn does so with good reason. This small distillery - located in the Speyside region - is built in the Victorian style, lies in a deep, hilly valley and offers a spectacular view on the way from Rothes to Elgin. The distillery was built in 1897 - when Queen Victoria was celebrating her Jubilee - so architect Charles Chree Doig was asked to complete it before the end of the year. He barely made it and only thanks to the willingness of the employees, who started production in the still windowless and doorless building, wearing thick masks. Despite its beautiful location and traditional appearance, the distillery, which draws its water from the Granty Burn, is only known to a few people. The distillery caused a stir when it was sold by United Distillers to Inver House in 1996, and Inver House launched a 21-year-old "Centenary Celebration 1897 - 1997" to mark its 100th birthday.
