About Scotch Whisky
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks. Blended Scotch combines malt and grain whiskies for a smooth, approachable style, while single malt is made only from malted barley at a single distillery. Each region has its own character, from the smoky, maritime whiskies of Islay and the Isle of Skye to the fruity, elegant style of Speyside and the rich, varied Highland malts.
Single Malt Scotch by Region
Speyside is home to Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Balvenie and Aberlour, known for fruit, honey and sherry cask richness. Islay gives the smoky, peated malts of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg and Bowmore. The Highlands and Islands cover Glenmorangie, Dalmore, GlenDronach, Talisker and Highland Park, while the Lowlands make light, floral whisky and Campbeltown is famous for Springbank and Glen Scotia.
Blended Scotch Whisky
