A guide to the Scotch whisky regions Like wines, the single malts of Scotland are grouped by region although these regions offer a guideline rather than a rule. The regions of Scotland – the Lowlands, the Highlands, Campbeltown and the island of Islay – have their origins in the regulation of licences and duties, but they do also embrace certain characteristics. The Lowlands This area tends to produce softer malts, without the peat of the Highlands or the brininess of the coastal malts. The Lowlands is defined by a line following old county boundaries and running from the Clyde estuary to the River Tay. The line swings north of Glasgow and Dumbarton and runs to Dundee and Perth. The Highlands, Islands and Speyside By far the largest region, the Highlands embraces wide variations in style. The western Highlands have only a few scattered distilleries, and it is difficult to generalise about their character. If they have anything in common, it is a rounded, firm, dry character, with some peatiness. The far north of the Highlands has several whiskies with a notably heathery, spicy, character, probably deriving both from the local soil and the coastal location of the distilleries. The more sheltered East Highlands and the Midlands of Scotland (sometimes described as the South Highlands) have a number of notably fruity whiskies. None of these Highland areas is officially regarded as a region, but the area between them, known as Speyside, is universally acknowledged as the heartland of malt distillation. This area, between the cities of Inverness and Aberdeen, sweeps from granite mountains down to fertile countryside, where barley is among the crops. It is the watershed of a system of rivers, the principal among which is the Spey. Although it is not precisely defined, Speyside is commonly agreed to extend at least from the River Findhorn in the west to the Deveron in the east. Within this region are several other rivers, notably the Livet. The Speyside single malts are noted in general for their elegance and complexity, and often a refined smokiness. Beyond that, they have two extremes: the big, sherried type, as typified by The Macallan, Glenfarclas and Aberlour; and the lighter, more subtle style. Within Speyside, the River Livet is so famous that its name is borrowed by some whiskies from far beyond its glen. Only one may call itself The Glenlivet, only Braes of Glenlivet and Tamnavulin are produced in the valley, and only Tomintoul in the parish. These are all delicate malts, and it could be more tentatively argued that other valleys have malts that share certain characteristics. The Highland region includes a good few coastal and island malts, but one peninsula and just one island have been of such historical importance in the industry that they are each regarded as being regions in their own right.

Campbeltown On the peninsula called the Mull of Kintyre, on the west coast of Scotland, Campbeltown once had about 30 distilleries. Today, it has only two. One of these, Springbank, produces two different single malts. This apparent contradiction is achieved by the use of a lightly peated malt in one and a smokier kilning in the other. The Campbeltown single malts are very distinctive, with a briny character. Although there are only three of them, they are still considered by serious malt lovers to represent a region in their own right. Islay Pronounced "eye-luh", this is the greatest of whisky islands: much of it deep with peat, lashed by the wind, rain and sea in the Inner Hebrides. It is only 25 miles long, but has no fewer than eight distilleries, although not all are working. Its single malts are noted for their seaweedy, iodine-like, phenolic character. A dash of Islay malt gives the unmistakable tang of Scotland to many blended whiskies. Slainte mhoiz and slaandjivaa All prices listed are for a large measure of 50ml.

Initial notes of soft apricot and cream offset by developing flavours of liquorice and oak with a touch of honey. 590 Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 53 59.7% £14.15 Speyside, Distillery Bottling Another fantastic batch of Aberlour's A'Bunadh, which means 'the original’ in Gaelic, matured exclusively in Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Batch 53 has an abv of 59.7%. 587 Ailsa Bay 48.9% £17.35 Lowlands, Distillery Bottling The inaugural release from Ailsa Bay – peated Lowland whisky. For this first release Grant's have decided to go for smoke, creating a rare peated lowland. It's got a rich and earthy backbone, with sweet liquorice and touches of tar. 388 Ardbeg 10yr 46% £13.70 Islay, Distillery Bottling Bold menthol & black pepper slice through the sweet smoke followed by tarry ropes & graphite. As you dip your nose in further, savour the aroma of smoked fish & crispy bacon alongside green bell peppers, baked pineapple & pear juice. An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions on the tongue: peat effervesces with tangy lemon & lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. This is followed by a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas & currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino & toasted marshmallows. 395 Ardbeg Corryvreckan 57.1% £18.80 Islay, Distillery Bottling This is a very enjoyable dram at full strength created to replace Nam Beist appetising, powerful and moreish. 404 Ardbeg Uigeadail 54.2% £15.35 Islay, Distillery Bottling Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’) is a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. It's non chill- filtered at high strength, which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth. Ardbeg Uigeadail was recently voted by the 80,000 strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg. 486 Auchentoshan 12yr 40% £14.10 Lowlands, Distillery Bottling Triple distilled then matured for over twelve years. This Lowland Single Malt Whisky has the tempting aroma of toasted almonds, caramelised toffee and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste.

ABV per 50ml 398 Balvenie 12yr Doublewood 40% £13.00 Speyside, Distillery Bottling Balvenie Doublewood’s extra complexity and richness are a result of a second maturation in fresh sherry casks. 400 Balvenie 12yr Single Barrel First Fill 47.8% £13.35 Speyside, Distillery Bottling Rich & complex with a Deep vanilla oakiness. Honey notes are overlaid with sweet fruits & subtle spices. The finish is lingeringly sweet. 617 Balvenie 14yr Carribean Cask 43% £13.70 Speyside, Distillery Bottling This whisky has been matured for 14 years in traditional oak casks before being transferred to Caribbean rum casks to impart some extra flavour.
