Glen Spey

Another of Rothes’ distilleries, Glen Spey seems initially to conform to the ‘J&B’ template of lightness of character.

Glen Spey is substantially different to the corn husk dryness of Knockando or to Strathmill. As with its neighbour, Glen Grant, there’s a purifier pipe at work here which brings in a pleasing light oiliness to the spirit adding some texture to its nuttiness.
