Ottawa Chapter Kingston Single Malt Society www.kingstonsinglemaltsociety.com A social club for the appreciation of Single Malt Whisky since 1998 nd June 22 , 2015 VOLUME 8; NUMBER 12 Explain about ... Scotland's whisky regions There are six major regions of whisky production in Scotland and each region has it's own general characteristics. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule but here I will explain these basic regional characteristics and this may help you to select which style of whisky will suit your taste. Within each region, each distillery also has it's own individual characteristics and this diversity gives us the different styles of the same drink and is what makes the world of whisky so interesting. There are currently over 80 distilleries in operation throughout Scotland. Campbeltown Campbeltown is found on a peninsula on the west Highland coast. It was once home to 15 distilleries but the industry there fell on hard times, partly due to the remoteness of it's location and the resulting problems in transportation. Now there are currently only three operating distilleries in Campbeltown - Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle (which has only just reopened in 2004, having been closed way back in 1925). They all use peated malt and the resulting whiskies have a light smoky flavour mixed with some maltiness and sweetness. They would be good examples to give to someone who was wanting to try a smoky whisky but not something too heavy or overpowering. Lowlands MENU The Lowlands was once a major area of production but fell on hard times in the 1980s and early 1990s. Currently there are only Lakeside: Two Canapes three operating distilleries - Glenkinchie, Auchentoshan and Bladnoch (which was closed in 1993 and reopened in 2000). 'The Salad: Summer Salad of Local Greens & Highland line' runs to the north of Glasgow and Edinburgh and this imaginary line is the boundary between the Lowlands and the Tomatoes, with Cucumber & Radish in Red Wine Highlands whisky regions. The style of whisky produced in the Vinaigrette Lowlands is light, fresh and fruity and are regarded as very easy to drink. They are subtle and refreshing, good for hot weather and as an Entree: Grilled Sirloin Steak with Warm Potato Salad introduction to whisky for someone who has not tasted it before. Or Speyside Grilled Salmon with Ratatouille It is within this region that there is the largest concentration of distilleries in Scotland. There are currently over 30 in operation Dessert: Trio of Chocolate, Lemon & Fresh Berries within what is a relatively small area, based around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Dufftown, Keith and the surrounding glens. This has ---------------------------- historically always been the case and is due to the combination of perfect climate for whisky maturation, quality water supply and locality to the quality barley growing areas. The whiskies produced Upcoming Dinner Dates include some of the most famous in the world, such as Glenfiddich, July 20th, 2015 - 4rd Annual Bourbon Night - River Mill Macallan and Glenlivet, but also a number of hidden gems.

  • Speymalt – by Macallan Aged 14 Years
    Spirit Single Malt Whisky Speymalt – by Macallan aged 14 years Country: Scotland Region: Craigellachie-Speyside Producer: Gordon and MacPhail Range: Speymalt Range Bottling: Gordon and Macphail Bottling Style: Single Malt Whisky Water Source: from Bore Holes Age: Distilled 2005 - Bottled 2019 Cask Type: Sherry Colour: Amber Flavour Profile: Fruity Allergens: not known Bottle size: 70cl - abv: 43.0% Speymalt Here we have Gordon & MacPhail's 2019 bottling of its wonderful Speymalt range! The Macallan single malt was distilled in 2005, and matured in sherry casks until 2019. Then, Gordon & MacPhail bottled it up at 43% ABV. Sherried Macallan is always a winner in my book. Speyside All Speyside whiskies are Highland whiskies; but, not all Highland malts are Speysiders. What is the difference, why the distinction of the Speyside region? The answer is quite simply the River Spey. From its source in the Cairngorms National Park, the river meanders 107 miles, disgorging into the Moray Firth at Spey Bay. Speyside, located in the middle of the Highland region, is also considered by many the heartland of Scotch production. Today, more than half of Scotland’s working distilleries are located in this region. Geographically, Speyside encompasses the area east and west of the River Spey, partly in tandem with the Morayshire county lines. There are several key towns in region. Forres, to the east, is home to Benromach Distillery and a short drive from Dallas Dhu, a mothballed distillery now transformed into a visitor destination. Westerly are the distilleries of Strathisla, Strathmill, Glen Keith, and Aultmore, all located in Keith. Centrally situated is Gordon and MacPhails, offices, and warehouses in the Royal Burgh of Elgin, also known for its mediaeval cathedral ruins.
