Single Malt Scotch Tasting

Thursday, April 26th
4:30 OR 6:00 PM
Speyside Distillery
with Ed Kohl

Speyside Distillery (which is in Speyside, the region) was the ongoing dream of submarine captain, George Christie . Construction on the distillery was started in the 1960’s and was completed in 1987, with distillation beginning in 1990. Fermentations are long and distillation is slow, everything goes at its own pace at Speyside.

The distillery is now in the hands of The Harvey Family which have strong ties to the whisky industry (Lord Byron presented his friends with “Harvey’s Spey Whisky” upon his wedding in 1815, though obviously it was a different “Spey”). These days most of the whisky is destined for Asian markets, especially Taiwan, though Ed Kohl may have swayed them to work more with the States. He will show us the range personally, we will put the list of single malts and pricing out soon.
