The Secret Speyside Collection

Chivas Brothers er kommet den største serie af aftapninger fra deres side. Hele 15 aftapninger er de kommet med.

Aftapningerne kommer i alderen fra 18 til 30 år fra Caperdonich, Glen Keith, Longmorn og Braes of Glenlivet.
Der kommer faktisk seks aftapninger af Caperdonich, 3 peated og 3 un-peated udgaver fra dette lukkede destilleri.


Alan Winchester der har mere end 30 års erfaring med produktion af whisky i Speyside siger: "With centuries of rich whisky heritage against a jaw-dropping Scottish landscape, Speyside is the treasure chest of Scotch and brimming with untold stories. Curating the Collection has been a labour of love for the Chivas Brothers team; its contents have been hand-selected to help shine a light on some seldom-seen distilleries, their rare malts, and unique histories. Any whisky connoisseur will find something new in this world-class selection, which demonstrates the breadth of flavour and character that Speyside distilleries can achieve."

The Secret Speyside Collection vil være tilgængelig i travel retail i et år inden de vil være at finde i forretningerne fra juni 2020.
