Spey Chairman’s Choice in Wood Presentation Case (70cl, 40%)

Bottle No 95-02028 

Spey is a brand of single malts from the Speyside distillery. This Chairman's Choice bottling – aged in a combination of sherry and bourbon casks – follows a tradition whereby the chairman of the company would select his best casks to serve to his family on Christmas Day. The tradition continues and a small amount is released globally on this day each year. 

This is a sentimental offering from Speyside distillery. The Chairman's Choice bottling, aged in a combination of sherry and bourbon casks, follows the tradition whereby the chairman of the company would select his best casks to serve to his family on Christmas Day. The adverage age of the whisky is 17 years old.

Speyside distillery was the second of those built by George Christie, his first being the North of Scotland grain plant in 1957. The whisky entrepreneur George Christie, who built the now-defunct North of Scotland grain distillery in 1957, commissioned the construction of a new single malt whisky distillery in Speyside in 1962. Beset by delays, the distillery was completed in 1987, the year after Christie had sold the company, and the new Speyside distillery finally began producing spirit in 1990.

Early bottlings of Speyside’s whisky, such as Drumguish, were not met with great success in the UK, but the distillery subsequently found its niche producing the Spey Malt and several proprietary blends for Asian markets. In its short history it has appeared in several guises, including Drumguish, Spey, Cu Dhub, Glentromie and Black Burn. After being bought in 2000 by a consortium including George Christie’s son Ricky, Speyside changed hands again in 2012 when it was taken over by Harvey’s of Edinburgh. Recent releases include the 100% bourbon-matured Trutina and the peated barley version dubbed Fumare.

The Spey single malt brand was launched in 2014.
