Viewer's Comments about Drumguish
 Drumguish
is a five year single malt whisky produced at the Speyside
Distillery. The distillery takes its name from the original
Speyside Distillery in Kingussie which started in 1895 and
only produced until 1905. It was demolished in 1911.
Speyside Distillery was built following one man's dream
to have his own malt whisky distillery. George Christie,
a well known merchant, chose the tranquil spot at Tromie
Mills, below the small village of Drumguish and three miles
from Kingussie to build his dream. George Christie commissioned
Alex Fairlie, a dry stane dyker, to build the distillery.
Alex single-handedly laid all the stonework over a period
of nearly 20 years and the distillery started production
on the 3rd of December in 1990. The old mill and water wheel
were retained from the original distillery and are still
in working order.
 Drawing
from the wonderful crystal clear waters of the River Tromie,
The Speyside Distillery houses some of the smallest, yet
most cleverly proportioned stills in Scotland. These two
key factors, allied to our distilling secrets, that have
been passed from generation to generation, have earned Speyside
the reputation of 'the best whisky in the world'.

Speyside
Distillery
The Speyside Distillery is located on the
banks of the River Tromie in the Speyside region of the
Scottish Highlands. The distillery is closer to the source
of the River Spey than any other distillery in Scotland,
providing access to the area's richest, purest water. The
rivers of Speyside are recognised for their part in producing
great whisky and their banks are home to many fine distilleries.
The distillery is not a large production plant, being equipped
with a four tonne GlenSpey mash tonne, four 20,000 litre
wash backs, a 13,000 litre wash still and a 7,000 litre
spirit still, both stills being made by Forsyth's of Rothes,
mass production never being one of Mr Christie's objectives.
The distillery draws its water from the old mill lade which
originally ran the waterwheel that powered the old mill
that gives the site its name; the same water source is used
for process and cooling in the distillery. The distillery
has only 4 employees, they lovingly watch over the small
batch production.
The Speyside Distillery does not have a visitor centre.
