Speyside

Although definitions vary slightly, Speyside is the area around the river Spey, in Moray and in the Highlands and represents the largest number of distilleries of any region.  Styles vary greatly between and within distilleries despite their close proximity, although the Whisky produced tends to be lighter than that of the Island distilleries. Some of the best known and highest quality Malt Whiskies are produced here, including major international brands belonging to The Maccallan, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Knockando, Craigellachie, Aberlour and many more.
