The Speyside distillery The Speyside distillery The Speyside distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery near the hamlet of Drumguish in the Speyside region of Scotland, close to the village of Kingussie. It produces the Speyside single malt and Drumguish single malt. The distillery was founded in 1962 by George Christie. It was built by hand by George Christie over the next decades, and was finished in 1987. It took another three years until whisky production started in 1990. Two pot stills of traditional shape were installed. Because massive production was never one of George's objectives, they are some of the smallest in Scotland.
