Production of Speyburn 18 Years Old

The production of 18 Years Old begins with carefully selected ingredients. High-quality barley from the Scottish Highlands forms the basis of this fine spirit. The water used for distillation comes from a clear spring known for its purity. A traditional method is used for the distillation. The barley is first malted. Fermentation then takes place, during which the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol. The mixture is subsequently distilled in copper stills to extract the full range of aromas. After distillation, the whisky matures for at least 18 years in selected oak casks. This extended maturation period promotes the development of complex aromas and gives the whisky its characteristic smoothness.
