About this Uncharted whisky
The Speyside Distillery produces a super elegant spirit - a classic example of the region it has named itself after. For avoidance of doubt and confusion, there is a distillery that has named itself as "The Speyside Distillery". It can be a little confusing if you’ve not come across it before and many people confuse this with the many "un-named" Speyside whiskies seen in the whisky world.
The Speyside Distillery is a stunningly beautiful distillery nestled in the hills behind Kingussie near Aviemore. Only a small amount of this spirit was produced and sadly production there has come to an end; the distillery and team are moving to a new distillery location. This distillery has historically crafted a couple of different spirits but this is their headliner: unpeated, fruity, and super elegant.
This particular whisky is two sister casks. One is a first fill oloroso sherry and the other a bourbon hogshead. The vatting of the two single casks has created something truly delicious. The character of the ex-bourbon maturation is still there while the generous sherry adds layers of toffee and complexity without overpowering the distillery character. The casks have come together to make something much greater than the sum of their parts. Something Jack and Dana from Uncharted Whisky love about this is that the ex-bourbon cask, and it’s influence on the vatting has been exceptional; it’s not all about the sherry! It's an amazingly balanced whisky.
Why the name? It’s a classic combination, perhaps the most classic combination. Unpeated Speyside single malt aged in first fill oloroso sherry cask creates a velvety sweet whisky merged with a drier and more delicate ex-bourbon cask. Great things happen when they Come Together.
