Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky.

  • 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.

Nobody knows who invented Whisky, or for that matter when it was invented. What we do know is that distillation arrived in Ireland and subsequently Scotland during the late middle ages, and was most likely brought by monks travelling back from the continent. Italian records from the 13th century tell us that aqua vitae was produced by monasteries for medicinal purposes, rather than for social consumption. The 'Water of Life' The earliest mention of whisky in Ireland is a little worrying: in 1405 the death of a local chieftain was attributed to his consumption of ‘a surfeit of aqua vitae’ at the Christmas festivities.
