Product Description

In 1897 John Hopkins discovered a unique spot in the heart of Speyside, ideal for making exceptionally smooth whisky. Building a distillery in the steep, wooded glen by the Granty Burn was challenging. However, with abundant, pure water and the rich natural elements of this lush region of Scotland, it was worth the effort. To this day Speyburn remains the only distillery to draw its water from this major tributary of the River Spey. Here, in the secluded, tree-lined valley, this golden liquid rests in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks; breathing in the natural elements of this outstanding region. The resulting whisky is as mellow as its surroundings. This award-winning dram is a deep, complex and well-balanced single malt. There are touches of fresh fruit, hints of toffee and butterscotch, and a long smooth, sweet finish.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Silver · 2025
Pronounced orchard fruit and toffee, complemented by delicate white flowers. On the palate, crisp apple emerges, rounded by hints of vanilla and spice. The finish is bright and clean, with a delightful orange zing.

Bright citrus and green apple lead, followed by subtle spice and buttery brown bread. The finish offers gentle char and a touch of vanilla.
Bronze2024iwsc.net ↗
We are met with pleasant aromas of orchard fruit and vanilla. Sweet and malty on the palate, with a creamy texture and a subtle, warming finish.
Silver · 91 pts2023iwsc.net ↗
Wonderfully sweet ginger-spiced toffee aromas, with a creaminess and some savoury notes of tobacco on the palate. Particularly dry on the finish.
Silver2022iwsc.net ↗
A light and youthful nose with citrus and green fruits, and barley sugar. The sweet palate is easy going and has some really appealing apple flavour.
Bronze2021iwsc.net ↗
Light and floral cut flowers and sweet sultanas with subtle hints of chocolate and spice.
Bronze2020iwsc.net ↗
Delicate caramel and floral character, with aromas of apple tart and vanilla ice cream. A lifted finish.
Bronze2019iwsc.net ↗
This has a big, fruity nose, with honey and melons. The palate is rich and oily, with luscious flavours of sweet apples and spices. This is a classic example of this style, with a lot to offer.
Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2023
A sweet, creamy dram matured mainly in bourbon casks and some sherry casks. The nose has honey, vanilla, flaked coconut, lemon biscuits, and apple Danish pastries. … It’s impossible not to like it.

Time to rethink. Speyburn, one of the forgotten distilleries of Rothes, is a charmer. Sweet and fragrant with notes of blossom and a little red fruit on the nose, the palate shows ginger, cream, and rhubarb.
Distiller · Amanda Schuster
Very soft and clean, with some faint citrus and grassy notes, balanced by classic Highland toffee and caramel flavors … Very easy to drink. This would be a good one for cocktails too.

Delicate aromas of almond and peach sundae appear on the nose. These develop into notes of spiced apples, baking spices with a subtle hint of pastry on the palate. There’s a gentle richness to this whisky …
Silver2015worldwhiskiesawards.com ↗
Magic balloons and glossy mags, straw and floury dough nose. Golden syrup on toast provides the limited sweetness and sneezy pepper and mace the rest.
