Highlands
Single Malt Tasting notes & Pronunciations
The whiskies of the Highland region differ as much as the region itself. Scotland’s largest whisky region in terms of land mass, Highland whiskies tend to be more complex and smoky then their Speyside counterparts. Many Highland whiskies are located on the coast and have briny marine characteristics like Oban and Old Pulteney while interior whiskies tend to be smoother and more floral.
