Glen Spey 26 Year Old Signatory Vintage 1974

HED91228 70cl 50.4%
Founded in 1878, Glen Spey is one of the five distilleries located in the city of Rothes. It is currently owned by Diageo and the vast majority of its production goes into the J&B blended whisky. This is a very rare bottling released independently by Signatory Vintage in 2000. The liquid was distilled at Glen Spey in 1974 and matured for 26 years in a single oak cask. The nose suggests aromas of corn husks, grass and a touch of mint. The palate combines notes of tiger nuts, apple sponge cake and green grapes.

Glen Spey

Established as the Mill of Rothes in Moray, Speyside, in 1878, Glen Spey took its current name in 1887. This workhorse distillery was for a long time the home of then-owner W&A Gilbey’s Spey Royal blended Scotch.

In more recent years, much of the single malt produced at Glen Spey has been used for blends, most notably J&B. The distillery’s use of purifiers in its stills promotes reflux of the spirit it produces, creating a lighter whisky which makes for a prime blending component.

Thus far, official Glen Spey releases have been few and far between and include a highly collectible 21-year-old cask-strength single malt. Today only a 12-year-old, released as part of owner Diageo’s Flora & Fauna series, exists. Several independent bottlings are also on the market.
