Spey Trutina

The Speyside Distillery is situated at the Tromie river, one of the tributaries of the Spey river, not far from Kingussie. Although they started building the distillery in 1957 production hasn't started before December 1990. Since 2012 the distillery is owned by the Harvey's of Edinburgh and they have set up a program that should rigorously improve the quality by investing in better casks leading to better finishes. Under the Spey label all single malts from the Speyside distillery are launched.

The Spey Trutina is a fresh and crisp Speyside single malt matured in bourbon casks. Trutina also means balance in Latin and that’s what this whisky certainly is.
