Cuvée presentation

A Speyburn 12 Year Old from the Flora and Fauna range, bottled in 1991. The Flora and Fauna range was released in 1991, following in the footsteps of Classic Malts 1988 range by putting six of its most iconic single malts on sale to the public. Flora and Fauna offers a broader overview of the United Distillers group's distilleries, including the lesser-known of the pack, mainly used for the group's blends, i.e. twenty-two single malts. The range owes its name to the famous whisky writer Michael Jackson, in reference to the ornate wildlife themed labels. These bottlings are becoming increasingly rare and many are simply no longer on the market.

The distillery Speyburn

Speyburn was founded in 1897 by John and Edward Hopkins through their company John Hopkin & Co. The distillery was designed by Charles Doig, the inventory of the pagoda roof. It was bought in 1916 by Distillers Company Limited (DCL) and incorporated into its subsidiary Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD). It operated almost continuously until it was bought in 1991 by Inver House Distillers, closing only for four years in the early 1930s. Official bottlings of Speyburn are rare save for one 10 Year Old and a Flora & Fauna bottling from the United Distillers period. A handful of Speyburn bottlings can however be found from independent bottlers.
