Secret Speyside – Seek out the undiscovered

February 3, 2021

RARE SINGLE MALTS FROM HIDDEN DISTILLERIES

A unique range of quintessential aged malts, from undiscovered Speyside distilleries.

Our Master Distillers have unearthed rare and remarkable single malts from Speyside’s hidden distilleries. Some are in finite supply, never to be made again.

Distinct and rich in character, each one offers unplumbed depths of flavour from smooth and fruity to peated and smoky. All have compelling stories to tell. And like all the best stories, they stay with you long after the last drop is finished.

Longmorn

The Pioneering Distillery

Founded in 1894 by John Duff, he was determined to create the ultimate whisky. He therefore made a railway station at the distillery door, bringing the best ingredients and exporting the precious liquid.

Longmorn is featured in Blenders’ repertoires as “top dressing” it has been called every distiller’s second favorite malt (after their own).

Elegant and fruity on the nose with notes of sweet pear and mango followed by creamy toffee and orange marmalade. The palate is rewarded with soft fudge  and ripe juicy pear. Incredibly smooth and long finish with a touch of nutty oak.

Glen Keith

The Landmark Distillery

The distillery of Glen Keith begins at an old mill on the banks of the River Isla, beside a deep pool    of water. Every autumn, it’s known for Salmon to leap up from the clear, fresh water.

The distillery’s pot stills are taller than most. The vapour rises further up, an extra “copper kiss” giving Glen Keith its fruity Speyside style.

Caperdonich

A Vanished Distillery

Caperdonich distillery, on the banks of the River Spey, IS NO MORE. A building opened in 1898 and taken down, brick by brick, in 2002. This single malt is all that remains of the whisky from the  ‘SECRET WELL’. This is the one and only available batch.

Once gone, there will never be another

Smoky bonfire comes together with the classic sweet and fruity Speyside style. Matured in American oak barrels, this rare and robust single malt is subtly layered with initial aromas of peat, followed by a  taste of apple and brown sugar, gentle ginger and warming orange.
