Lowland

Lying South of an imaginary line which runs from Greenock on the West coast of Scotland to Dundee in the East, most of the malts produced here end up in blends but the region still boasts a few Single Malts.

Generally speaking, Lowland region whiskies are mellower than whiskies from the neighbouring Highlands and are very much appreciated by those new to Whisky and experienced drinkers alike.

Typical Style: Majority are light in colour, a certain sweet fruitiness with a dry finish with the dryness coming from the malt itself, not from the peat as Lowland malts tend to be produced with unpeated malt.

Did you know? There are only three active distilleries in the Lowlands; Bladnoch, Glenkinchie and Auchentoshan.
