“The ultra-rare range of single cask editions fuse the rich heritage and unique characteristics derived from the four celebrated and elusive distilleries at the heart of the revered region of Speyside, presenting travel retail shoppers with a unique opportunity to explore and collect new and rarer treasures,” says Liya Zhang, vice-president of marketing, PR GTR.

“It is always a satisfying moment for a blending team when we realise a cask we’ve been monitoring for years stands out as being worthy of bottling all by itself,” explained Sandy Hyslop, Chivas Brothers’ director of blending and inventory. “The introduction of these seven captivating single cask releases is a tribute to the exceptional skill and uncompromising dedication that is behind Secret Speyside.”
