Speyside, Scotland is often called whisky country as it’s the most densely populated whisky region in the world with over 50 distilleries, all within a stone’s throw of each other.
Home to some of the most famous and iconic whisky distilleries in Scotland, including Glenfiddich, Macallan, The Glenlivet, Balvenie and Cardhu, Speyside single malt whisky is renowned around the world. Located in north-east Scotland, Speyside is more easily accessible compared to the Isle of Islay, another of Scotland’s famous whisky regions which requires a ferry or a flight.
Although there is a popular Speyside whisky trail, I do my own Speyside distillery tour, visiting Speyside distilleries and the Speyside cooperage, doing Speyside distillery tours and drinking plenty of Speyside whisky at Speyside hotels and whisky bars in the process.
Join me on this Scotland travel adventure through Speyside as I continue to learn more about whisky, Scotland’s national drink! 🥃

One of my favorite whiskies is Monkey Shoulder. Named for a repetitive strain injury once common among distillery workers, who turned the malt by hand, it's a mix of Speyside whiskies (originally Balvene, Glenfiddich, and Kininvie, but the mix is no longer made public).

Love these distillery-hops. I prefer the Speysides, especially Aberlour and Balvenie. It did me a world of good to see a Japanese guy running a Scottish whisky bar and a Scotswoman speaking Japanese to him. A bright spot in otherwise troubled times.

As a post-retirement activity I worked for a few years selling liquor here in Ontario. Controlled by the provincial government, most store have an excellent selection of blends and single-malts. With my ancestry going back to Islay, I quickly became the whiskey expert in my store, and would often recommend those peaty offerings as they were also my favourites. Your adventures on Islay and Speyside would be something I’d love to experience. I also learned a few new things. Top-notch as usual, Ruth!

@ruthaisling 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Ben! What a great experience to work there!

@raymondporter2094 6 месяцев назад

Cracking video. I really think the distilleries are missing a trick by not making "drivers' drams" or even small bottles available. After all if you LIKE the dram you buy, you may go on to buy more.

@ruthaisling 5 месяцев назад

I totally agree. Especially as some whiskies which are now my favourites and I have bought more of and recommended to others are as a result of me first trying them as driver's drams - an example being the Kilchoman - Machir Bay.

Hi Ruth! Thank you for providing useful information. I haven't seen the new site yet, but I'll use it as a reference. The landscapes of the Highlands and Scotland have a familiarity that resembles a combination of Japan's Hokkaido and the suburbs of Honshu.

@thepatriotsrage661 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this Ruth! Brought back amazing memories seeing the sights; from my 2018 trip to Speyside (stayed in Elgin). You live in a beautiful country! Glenfiddich is a beautiful distillery with all the flowers in summer, as is Aberlour, Glenlivet, Blavenie, Cragganmore, Macallan and Glenfarclas. Each distillery has it's individual beauty, uniqueness to it and being my favourites, they get drank often. Balvenie, Aberlour and Macallan all did driver packs back in 2018... P.S. I thought Cape Town had 4 seasons in 1 day until I visited the Highlands... no comparison!

Delightful vlog of our favorite Whisky region, Speyside. Your production has good pace, capture is excellent, and your content is information rich. Our last Scotland visit included a private guided tour at Glenfiddich. We were able to take pictures in a warehouse, and we used a copper dipping dog to draw our own driver’s dram from a single barrel. Glenfiddich 18 remains our favorite whisky. Our favorite restaurant is Roo’s Leap in Aviemore, where we stayed while touring. We enjoyed touring your new website. Thanks for sharing.

Some of those distilleries seem to have strange policies that penalise the driver! Refusing to allow the driver to take samples away, when they've paid the same price for the tour, is silly. And failing to sell small bottles, which ought to be much more profitable than selling large bottles, is another odd policy. However, the Walker's shortbread... Yes please! When I was a child, I had an aunt and uncle, in York, who worked at the old Rountree factory, and we always got big bags of seconds when we visited! Happy days! 😂

The best sticky toffee pudding I ever had was in Busta House, Shetland back in 2000. I was back this year and it was just as good - because believe it or not it was the same woman making it - 23 years later!! Well worth a visit for the pud alone! Another great video!

@ruthaisling 6 месяцев назад

Wow, I must try it if I'm ever back there. Sticky toffee pudding is my favourite dessert, but so filling!

Another great video Ruth 👍. A whisky you must try (if you haven't already), is my favourite...Tobermory. I think it's the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, in, yes you've guessed it, Tobermory.

Very informative video. I drove up from Aberdeen to visited the Elgin area years ago, but did not go on a distillery tour. The area north and northwest of Aberdeen is a beautiful part of Scotland. I found out during a visit to Stanley, Perthshire that fishing is different than the USA. The river is divided up into beats run by a riverbank owner or estate and you pay $$$ for permission to fish the beat, usually with a guide. I like going places during the off-season, but you visited way off season. Balvenie Castle, like other Historic Scotland sites, is only open from April 1 to September 30.

@ruthaisling 6 месяцев назад

That's interesting about the river and the fishing. Ah ok, good to know! There was a sign outside saying "open all year" but online it does seem to be closed during the winter season.

Hello Ruth, thank you for sharing this amazing video, the holy grail of Single Malt Scotch. I totally enjoyed this educational virtual tour. I took The Whisky Ambassador certification and The Oldest Single Malt distillery is The Glenturret from the books. Maybe you want to check if it's correct. Again, thank you for sharing this.. appreciate.

I did whisky tours whilst on Arran, Campbell town and Balmoral in September 2023. All were very interesting and the guides entertaining. However, the best was the Cooperage at Speyside. Totally worth it. Most tours cost between £8 and £10, with drivers samples.
