Speyside founder, John Hopkins discovered a unique spot, in the heart of Speyside, ideal for making exceptionally smooth whisky. The region was already famous for its whisky however what John Hopkins brought to Speyside was an innovative spirit and the determination to do things right. In 1897 Queen Victoria was celebrating the 60th year of her reign and Hopkins, never one to let a celebration go to waste, set himself a challenge. He said he could build a distillery and craft a whisky in time to toast the Queen\u2019s Diamond Jubilee.<\/p>\n
The Granty Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n While hunting for the perfect spot for his distillery, Hopkins discovered the Granty Burn – an untouched stream hidden in a secluded Speyside valley. He knew that the exceptionally pure water of this burn would produce a remarkable whisky with a naturally refreshing character. Then, enlisting the help of world famous innovator and architect, Charles C. Doig, they designed a building that worked within the constraints of the land.<\/p>\n The Distillery<\/strong><\/p>\n These narrow glens aren\u2019t a common spot for distilleries and for good reason. Space was a precious commodity and every last inch had to pull its weight, it\u2019s fair to say, Hopkins\u2019 task was not easy. He had to be resourceful and open-minded. Equally, though, it was an opportunity he could not afford to pass up. Instead of building out, he built our distillery up through the trees. Instead of one vast drying floor, he raised his malt upwards using layer upon layer of mesh, infusing it with the vibrancy of the Speyside air.<\/p>\n History<\/strong><\/p>\n On the last night of the year, Hopkins and his team toiled through a storm of Arctic proportions to craft a whisky in time to toast the Queen\u2019s Jubilee. Determined that their first bottle would bear the year 1897 on its label, the men battled against the elements wearing overcoats and mufflers to protect them from the freezing snow. After hours of hard work and with heroic efforts of his distillery men, Hopkins finally triumphed and was rewarded with the first barrel of Speyburn whisky.<\/p>\n Speyburn is Speyside<\/strong><\/p>\n 120 years since distilling the first drop, Speyburn is now more than a whisky.
