The story of Speyburn 10 Yr

Speyburn sits at Rothes in Speyside and was built in 1897 by John Hopkins & Company. The site was chosen for the clean water of the Granty Burn, a small tributary of the River Spey, which gives the distillery its name. Architect Charles Doig designed it, and his pagoda ventilator still stands on the distillery. The plan was to have whisky flowing in time for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, but the stills did not run until 15 December, and the first spirit came off in a snowstorm with the still house lacking doors and windows.

The 10 Year Old is matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and sherry seasoned casks, then bottled at 40 per cent. In the glass it is bright golden amber. Expect baked apple, orange marmalade and pear on the nose, then toffee, butterscotch and a little cinnamon on the palate, finishing sweet with a hint of smoke.

It is an easygoing malt that suits an everyday glass. Pour it over ice, or lengthen it with ginger ale and a wedge of lime. At the table it goes well with a sharp cheddar or a warm apple tart.
