Glen Spey has managed to revel in obscurity its entire life despite being located in Speyside, the heart of Scotlands distilling culture. There is not a shortage of bottlings out there, if fact there are quite a few very nice independent examples. Glen Spey has also been promoted sporadically in an official capacity through the Flora & Fauna bottling and one or two Special Release and single cask special editions. 

Yet Glen Spey still remains a fundamentally obscure distillery - not unloved, just not considered at all. Glen Spey operates under most aficionados' radar, and the generic-sounding name leads people to perceive it as safe and middle of the road. This is a shame because, while some bottlings give this charge weight, there are many fine examples that are very beautiful expressions of a classic Speyside style.
