Knockdhu Distillery was built in 1893 in Aberdeenshire. They use traditional production methods, but their whisky is refreshingly modern. The end result is a lighter-tasting single malt that doesn't compromise on quality.

Aberlour Distillery was originally built it in 1879 and it has been damage, refurbished and expanded many times since then. Their Single Malts are made from expertly crafted new spirit, usually double cask matured for at least 12 years in the finest hand-picked Oloroso Sherry butts and American Oak casks. The depth of flavour comes from how it is made and the ingredients including specially sourced local barley and crystalline spring water used to produce it.

Allt-a-Bhainne Distillery was built in 1975 and has a failry modern design. It is only very occasionally seen as a single malt bottling and more often produces for Blended Malts. The inspiration behind the single malt Scotch whisky was to blend peat and smoky notes with classic Speyside elements.

At Balvenie their whisky-making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and they are the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. This traditional method gives the whisky its rich character and flavour.

BenRiach Distillery was built in 1898 and is located in the 'heart' of Speyside. Their independent ownership allows the distillery to experiment with several interesting wood finishes and it continues to produce whisky from both peated and non-peated malted barley. Fruit is at the heart of the Benriach character, manifesting itself as pears and peaches with an added aromatic top note.
