Day 3 — Cadenhead Glen Spey/Glenlivet

Day 3 and we have some real scotch for you to enjoy and from on of Scotland’s oldest and arguably biggest independent bottlers. This may be a blend but we are sure you would agree its a strong offering. Bottled at 54% this 16 year old Glen Spey is from a trio of Hogsheads. Enjoy

Profile

Independent whisky bottler Cadenhead’s was founded in 1842 at 47 Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen, a site the company traded from for more than 130 years. Today, the business is owned by J. & A. Mitchell and Co., owner of Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. It specialises in single cask malt whiskies that are neither chill-filtered nor coloured, though trades in rum and gin as well.
