Glen Spey 9 Year Old 2015 - 100 Proof Edition #37 (Signatory) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

A rare glimpse into the underrated world of Glen Spey, this 9-year-old single malt from Signatory’s 100 Proof Edition was distilled in 2015 and matured exclusively in first-fill oloroso sherry butts, enhancing its naturally light and fruity spirit with bold layers of dried fruit, spice, and oak richness. It was bottled at 100 Proof (57.1% ABV), un-chill-filtered, and with no added colour. A full-flavoured take on a Speyside sleeper hit.

Distillery Information

The Glen Spey distillery sits below the ruins of Castle Rothes, once home to the Earls of Rothes who lived there until a devastating fire in 1662. Now just a few sections of wall remain. The Glen Spey whisky distillery was founded as the Mill of Rothes in 1878 by James Stuart and Co, the buildings having started out life as an oatmeal mill. Six years later, James Stuart purchased the Macallan distillery and in 1887 the English company W & A Gilbey acquired the Glen Spey for £11,000. The distillery has some rather interesting features. For one, Glen Spey shares its water source, the Rothes Burn, with several other distilleries, though not only did they draw water, but also discard hot waters that had previously cooled their stills. By the time the water reached Glen Spey it was far too hot to cool the stills effectively, thus water coolers were employed. This is no longer necessary as regulations are somewhat stricter and the distilleries must now cool their water before discarding it. Another feature of note being the spirit stills, which are operated at a low pressure, thus negating the use of release valves. The spirit stills are also fitted with purifiers; these increase the reflux and so more of the spirit is distilled again before it is condensed. This provides a lighter tasting single malt whisky and a perfect blending component.
