Top 24 Speyside Distilleries RANKED - Part 1: The Single Malt distilleries ranked, Numbers 24 - 13

Speyside is home to more distilleries than any other region in Scotland. I set myself a challenge: to rank all of the distilleries on the basis of the quality, presentation, breadth, and value of their core ranges. The problem with Speyside is that of the 49 distilleries, many of them primarily produce whisky for blends. To make a manageable list, I separated the top 24 distilleries before ranking them. How? I had to devise a system for cutting off the eligible distilleries. What was that system?
Since the list was so long, I've split it into two videos. Today, part 1, covers Numbers 24 through 13. The Top 12 will be ranked in Part 2 next week. Did your favorite Speyside distillery make the cut? Who was ranked last? Check out this video to find out...
The Malt Whisky Yearbook was invaluable to me in sorting through all of these distilleries' core ranges. It's a tremendous resource, and they're available on Amazon if you want one: amzn.to/4cH5gBu

RIP Longmorn, Linkwood and Glentauchers. Some of my favorite Speysides. Good list though. Only disagreement is Speyside. I'd put them a little higher

[@whiskywhereabouts]

Fair enough. Appreciate it!

My top-8. Benromach and Craigellachie #1 & 2 for sure. Ranking the others would require some thought: 1. Benromach 2. Craigellachie Glenfarclas Knockdhu Speyburn Tamdhu Glenfarclas GlenAllachie
