The Scotch whisky regions were originally defined to give drinkers a general sense of flavor — but those guidelines don’t always tell the full story. Speyside may be famous for its big, fruity malts from names like Macallan and Glenfiddich, yet there’s a deeper, more complex side few ever taste. Get ready to explore the untold side of "Malt Whisky Country" — rich, robust, and anything but ordinary.

Join New York Adventure Club as we uncover a daring side of Speyside whisky, where independent producers and nontraditional cask finishes reveal a flavor profile far removed from the region’s classic reputation.

Led by Whiskey Specialist Holly Seidewand, our unique experience will include:

• A dive into the bolder, oilier whiskies of Speyside, and how independent bottlers are reshaping the region’s legacy
• Tips on how to taste and describe whisky, whether you’re expanding your vocabulary or starting from scratch
• A curated selection of five chocolates from Saratoga Candy Co. — or five savory snacks — thoughtfully paired to complement each featured whisky (see 'Whisky & Snack Kits' section below for more details)
• A guided tasting of five exceptional whiskies, each chosen to spotlight the unconventional side of Speyside (see 'Whisky & Snack Kits' section below for more details)

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Holly — any and all questions about the featured whiskeys or snacks are welcomed and encouraged!
Can't make it live? Don't worry, you'll have access to the full replay for one week.

About Holly
Holly became a single malt enthusiast during her time working in retail store design in New York City. Not finding an education that was fitting to further her knowledge of whisky, she created her own study program by visiting over 130 distilleries throughout the world to interview producers, evaluate whiskies, and learn everything she could about the industry.
Holly has worked at Knockdhu Distillery (anCnoc) and Gordon’s Fine Wine & Spirits, and more recently held the role of North American Brand Ambassador for the Dewar’s Single Malt Portfolio, which includes Aberfeldy, Craigellachie, Aultmore, Royal Brackla, and The Deveron. She has always had an affinity for the History of Scotch and Irish Whiskey and can’t wait to share a dram with everyone!
You can follow her whisky journey on her blog and on Instagram @herwhiskylove.
