Glen Spey Distillery

Glen Spey is one of the five distilleries in the town of Rothes. The distillery was founded in 1878 by local corn merchant James Stuart. It was initially an oatmeal mill named ‘Mill of Rothes’. Stuart added equipment for whisky distillation a couple of years later. The distillery was sold to the London-based W. & A. Gilbey in 1887, which thus became the first English company to buy a Scottish malt distillery. A fire broke out in 1920, and the main part of the distillery had to be rebuilt. In 1962, W. & A. Gilbey merged with United Wine Traders to form International Distillers & Vintners. In 1970, the number of stills was increased from two to four. IDV was bought by Watney Mann in 1972, which was then acquired by Grand Metropolitan. In 1997, Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged to form Diageo. Glen Spey is one of the few distilleries that uses purifiers during distillation. This increases reflux, resulting in a lighter spirit. Most of Glen Spey’s production is used in Justerini & Brooks blends, making single malt bottlings rare. The first official bottling was a 12-year-old in the Flora & Fauna series, released in 2001.
