While hunting for the perfect spot for his distillery, Hopkins discovered the Granty Burn – an untouched stream hidden in a secluded Speyside valley. He knew that the exceptionally pure water of this burn would produce a remarkable whisky with a naturally refreshing character. Hopkins trusted his intuition and built the Speyburn distillery right there in the glen, using authentic river stones from the bed of the fast-flowing River Spey itself. Over 100 years after its founding, Speyburn remains the only distillery to use the pure, crystal-clear water of the Granty Burn
Nose: Rich toffee, sugar coated almonds and sweet, fresh tropical fruits alongside toffee apples and whispers of smoke.
Palate: Luxurious melted dark chocolate, balanced by a hint of citrus and a touch of oak spiciness.
Finish: Very smoky, long and slightly bittersweet.
