The Distillery

Speyside Distillery, nestled within the magnificent Cairngorm Mountains is widely acknowledged as being the prettiest of all Scotland’s distilleries.

Originally a barley mill and croft dating back to the 1700’s, it finally closed in 1965.

Over the next 25 years from 1965 it was slowly and lovingly converted into a single malt distillery, which then started producing spirit on Christmas Day 1990.

The distillery draws it’s water from the Spey River tributary… The River Tromie using the old mill lade, which originally ran the waterwheel that powered the old mill.

The Black Mountain Legend

The local BEINN DUBH Ruby Black Single Malt Scotch Whisky, itself POTENT and MYSTERIOUS, uses water from the Cairngorm Black Mountain and is perfectly finished in toasted ruby port casks from Portugal.

‘Black Mountain’ is how professor Norma Collie (University College, London) described Ben Macdui, the highest peak of the Cairngorm mountains, after his solo climb to the summit in 1891.

The Special Casks

We import ruby port casks for our finishing process directly from Portugal where the finest port is made.

Tanoaria Josafer Lda, established in 1962 craft the Ruby Port casks that give Beinn Dubh its unique colour.

Our whisky is matured in charred casks to produce a unique «ruby black» whisky.

The short film shows a small part of the process used to create each and every cask.
