Whisky in the Speyside Region of Scotland

Speyside is one of the most famous whisky producing parts of Scotland and is centred near the River Spey in the North of Scotland. This part of Scotland has numerous distilleries. So see the list see the distillery section on the site by clicking here.

Couple of the whisky brands from the Speyside area are the Glenfiddich and Glenlivet brands. An interesting point to make is that some Speyside whiskies do state on their label that the are a highland malt, but as the regions are so closely linked and neighbours you can understand why and the location of Speyside is truly in the Highlands of Scotland.
