Share a dram of SPEY Chairman’s Choice with Dad this Father’s day
Show Dad just how special he is this Father’s Day with a bottle of SPEY Chairman’s Choice single malt whisky. Every year Speyside Distillery –located in the heart of the beautiful Cairngorm mountain range – releases a specially selected bottling which is hand-picked by the company chairman – John McDonough Snr – the father of CEO, John Jnr.
Chairman’s Choice oozes masculinity and style from the whisky’s rich amber tones and attractive wooden presentation case. The boutique Speyside Distillery produces single malt whiskies using traditional distilling techniques, meaning that this limited edition dram is bound to impress the most discerning of whisky drinkers.
John Harvey McDonough, CEO of Speyside Distillery, says SPEY Chairman’s Choice is a family tradition which stems back over 200 years. He explains, “The release means a lot to me and my family as it is a custom which began back in the late 1700s. John and Robert Harvey, the founders of the company, started it and we have continued it ever since.
“The chairman of the company would pick the finest casks of whisky to share with his family on Christmas Day. The tradition is still going strong and my father, John, continues to select only the very best casks of whisky which are available in our warehouse.
“Only a small amount of the Chairman’s Choice expression is released each year, but it has quickly grown to be one of the best-selling bottles available from our range of single malts, which are all produced using time-honoured traditional techniques.”
With an ABV of 40%, SPEY Chairman’s Choice has a delicate floral and fruity fragrance which is combined with hints of vanilla. Both bourbon and sherry casks are used to mature the whisky, which in turn produces a unique malt with full-bodied character.
The overall taste of the single malt is of dried fruit, with a soft, nutty flavour, while the aftertaste presents woody sweetness mixed with a mild spice and soft dried fruit. The stunning bottle is encased within a dark wooden presentation case.
SPEY Chairman’s Choice has an RRP in the region of £60 and is available to buy from a range of retailers. Details of stockists and where to buy are available at www.speysidedistillery.co.uk or contact info@speysidedistillers.co.uk
