Single Malt aus dieser Region genießt deshalb Seltenheitswert. Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky ist eher mit Irish Whiskey verwandt, da er genau wie dieser dreifach destilliert wird. Dadurch und durch die Vermeidung von Torf beim Darren der Gerste entsteht ein heller sowie sanfter und leichter Whisky. Er ist malzig, leicht fruchtig und blumig und selten rauchig. Er ist besonders für Whisky-Einsteiger sehr geeignet, aber auch für Whisky-Kenner, die leichtere Whiskys bevorzugen.

We at Drinks International have been mulling over global international wine brands for some time. Unlike the spirits sector where, generally speaking, big global is good, the wine industry shies away from being seen as high-volume, produced on a commercial scale. We all know that the likes of Gallo, Pernod’s Wyndham Estate (Jacob’s Creek), Groupe Castel, Concha y Toro (Casillero del Diablo) et al make wines in huge volume that are available in most major wine markets around the world. But the wine-drinking consumer equates wine with 30 provenance – small scale, know the producer, taste the wine, sense the soil. The romance, the journey.

    Scotland, my auld, respected mither! Tho’ whiles ye moistify your leather, Till, whare ye sit on craps o’ heather, Ye tine your dam; Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither! Take aff your dram! WHISKY MENU SCOTLAND’S DISTILLERY REGIONS Highland INVERNESS Speyside ABERDEEN ISLANDS Islay GLASGOW EDINBURGH Campeltown Lowland SPEYSIDE INVERNESS Speyside ABERDEEN GLASGOW EDINBURGH The region gets its name from the River Spey which carves its way through the area, supplying the distilleries with what becomes ‘uisge-beatha’. This is the heartland of whisky and is a popular destination for whisky enthusiasts from all around the world. Many come to devote themselves to the Holy Mother of Malts! Home to over half of the distilleries around Scotland, it is a treat to discover an array of aromas and flavours that will leave you wanting more. Famous for light, fruity characteristics, each distillery has its own unique quirks, creating a very long bucket list of distilleries to sample. SPEYSIDE ABERLOUR DISTILLERY Aberlour translates to Obar Lobhair in Gaelic meaning ‘the mouth of the talkative or noisy stream’, and was founded by James Fleming in 1879, whose family motto is, ‘Let the deed show”. The distillery is supplied by the Rivers Lour and Spey, which is a short distance from Ben Rinnes and is in the heart of Speyside. As a little curiosity, the distillery pours a bottle of Aberlour 12-year-old into the River Spey every year, to mark the start of the salmon fishing season in February. This little ritual is to ‘bless’ the water in hope of a good fishing season for locals.

    The Scottish Parliament and Scottish Parliament Information Centre logos. SPICe Briefing The Scotch Whisky Industry 28 October 2009 09/76 Scherie Nicol Restructuring announcements by large companies within the Scotch Whisky industry over the summer of 2009 have brought the industry under the public and political spotlight. In response, the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee is considering holding an inquiry into the industry. This briefing is intended to provide the Committee with an insight into the current state of the Scotch Whisky industry. First, it takes a look at the main companies and summarises the economic impact of the industry in Scotland in terms of employment, income and exports. The legal framework within which the Scotch Whisky industry operates is also outlined, with a particular look at the upcoming Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009 and the existing law with regard to the bottling of Scotch Whisky. The briefing goes on to take a broad overview of the current domestic and international spirits market, with a specific look at the position of Scotch Whisky amidst other spirit drinks such as vodka. Trends within the worldwide whisky market, such as the growth of regional brands and premiumisation, are then examined in more detail, before the key challenges currently facing the industry are outlined. Lastly, Annexes 1 and 2 provide a summary of the restructuring plans announced by Diageo and Whyte & Mackay in recent months.
