MULTILINGUAL WHISKY TOURS EXECUTIVE TRAVEL SCOTLAND
Scotland’s landscape, climate, high quality natural resources and craftspeople drawing upon centuries of distilling heritage all come together in a perfect blend to craft the finest Scotch whiskies.
Today there are five geographically defined Scotch whisky regions:
Highland (including the islands), Speyside, Lowland, Islay and Campbeltown.
Traditionally each region was often described as producing a specific style of whisky but today distilleries of all regions increasingly reveal and explore different facets of their whiskies’ characters and flavours.
Speyside
In Speyside we find around half of the active malt whisky distilleries in Scotland including many which produce some of the world’s most revered Single Malt Whiskies. It takes is name from the majestic and fast-flowing River Spey which flows from its source in the heart of the Highlands to the Moray Firth on the North-East coast.
Speyside whiskies are typically characterised as fruity and floral, yet within the region some of Scotland’s most richly sherried and sweet smoky whiskies are to be found.
Highland
The Highland region includes all the malt whisky producing islands, except for Islay, which is a designated whisky region in itself.
From the Firth of Clyde to the Inner and Outer Hebrides, to Central, North, West and East Highlands and the Northern Isles, the whiskies from this region reflect the diversity of the expansive landscape itself, robust and rich yet with an abundance of spice, honey, dark fruits and savoury coastal notes.
Lowland
The Lowland region is home to the rich barley fields of the Lothians, Fife and the Borders. It is perhaps best known for a more gentle, cereal style of spirit. It is a region which has been home to many distilleries in the past, followed by a period with a few distilleries. Today, once again, we a see a resurgence in the number of active distilleries, not least in the heart of the urban centres.
Islay
On the west coast, many a malt from the small whisky isle of Islay (pronounced ‘eye-la’) inspires devotion amongst whisky lovers. Distinctively smoky and pungent peaty notes are distilled alongside barley notes to create some of the most masterful and memorable malt whiskies in Scotland.
Campbeltown
Meanwhile, in the whisky capital of the Kintyre peninsula, complex, robust, coastal and full of flavour, the Campbeltown malts enjoy a cult status around the globe and are a fine reward for whisky pilgrims.
