One of the 5 official Scottish whisky regions. Until the 19th century, mainly illegal whisky distilleries were located in this large area. Now there are about 30 distilleries that often have their own character. In the Highlands lies the Speyside which with its 50 distilleries is officially a region of its own. The Highlands also officially include a number of islands that informally form the Islands region.
The Ardmore Distillery is located on the border between Speyside and the Highlands. Therefore, the lightly peated single malt whisky has Speyside elements as a Highland whisky. This is a Thompson Bros bottled 25-year-old, bourbon-matured Ardmore. (48.9%)
The cask from which this bottling of an Edradour single malt whisky came was selected by songwriter Dougie Maclean. The bottling is named after his song Caledonia. Incidentally, it was an Oloroso sherry cask, on which the malt matured for 12 years. (46%)
The Aurora is one of the core bottlings of the young Highland distillery Wolfburn. Matured for 4/5 in bourbon, for 1/5 in sherry, this 3-year-old malt is a 'best of both worlds' dram. Not very complex, but a nice introduction to this new brand.
One of the core bottlings of Highland single malt whisky Balblair, and at the age of 12 also the youngest of the lot. Pretty fruity, not very complex and pleasant to drink. A whisky not to be difficult about, a great dram for an evening with friends.
Old Pulteney, once the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, is known for its distillery bottlings of single malt whisky. There are also independent bottlings, such as this one: 19 years old, aged in a sherry cask and bottled at 56.5%.
In 2007, beverage producer Diageo came up with this very Special Release: a 30-year-old single malt whisky from the legendary Brora brand (the distillery closed in 1983). 2958 bottles at cask strength (55.7%), matured in sherry and bourbon casks.
This Glenfarclas single malt whisky is one of the many bottlings from the famous The Family Casks series of this Speyside distillery. It is about 24 years old and, of course, matured in a sherry cask. It was bottled at 53.9% cask strength in 597 bottles.
Loch Lomond's Inchmurrin single malt whisky is unique because it's distilled using the Loch Lomond straight-neck pot stills. This 12-year-old Intense Orchard Fruit is even more unique in that it's matured in 3 different types of American oak casks. (46%)
And yet another strongly sherried Edradour single malt whisky from bottler Van Wees. And again in their Cask Strength series. This malt from the Southern Highlands aged for 10 years in an active sherry cask and is bottled at 59.3%.
Glenturret calls itself on the label the oldest working distillery in Scotland. In any case, with the Maiden Release in 2020, Glenturret launched a new standard bottling, a 15-year-old single malt whisky. This is the 2024 edition. Bottled at 50.8%.
Some have suggested it could be Ben Nevis, others mention Ardmore, but whichever Highland distillery this single malt whisky is from, it's certainly worth a look! The malt has been matured for 18 years in a refill bourbon cask and is bottled at 54.0% ABV.
A fine example of what Glendronach is famous for: sherried whiskies. Let this 12-year-old 'breathe' for a few minutes, and then taste the nice balance between the spirit and the PX and oloroso casks on which it matured. For a reasonable price. At 43%.
'The Highlands meet Andalucia', that's how you could describe this bottling from James Eadie. It is an 11-year-old single malt whisky from the Teaninich Distillery in the northern Highlands that is finished in classic, European oak Malaga casks. (48.3%)
This unpeated Ardnamurchan single malt whisky is a single cask bottling, bottled for and selected by Whisky Import Nederland. The around 8-year-old West Highlander is full and spicy, with salty notes. A very tasty dram, bottled at 57.1% cask strength.
Another fine Connoisseurs Choice edition. It is a 14-year-old Aberfeldy single malt whisky that matured in a refill sherry cask from Gordon & MacPhail's own collection. The Highlander is bottled at 55.4%. Fruit cake, marmalade, milk chocolate, and more.
A bottling specially released by Dalwhinnie Distillery for the wintertime. This single malt whisky has been aged in casks of American and European oak. A sweet and fruity dram with woody notes. For under the Christmas tree!
Fresh fruit, grassy, malty, fresh, sparkling even. Those are just some of the keywords that come up when tasting this 10-year-old Highlander. A nice standard bottling from the Glencadam distillery, dating from 1825. At 46%.
With this Cù Bòcan, Tomatin releases a peated variant of its single malt whisky. This 6th edition matured in PX and Jamaican rum casks, which gives this whisky some special notes. The bottle itself expresses the smoky, fiery character of Cù Bòcan. (46%)
It is one of two single malt Scotch whiskies to carry the designation 'royal'. This is a 10-year-old Royal Brackla bottling from James Eadie, matured in bourbon casks. This malt offers notes like red apple, toffee, caramel, shortbread and cinnamon. (46%)
The Lochside Distillery closed in 1992 after only about 35 years in operation, but in that short time, their single malt whisky had built up a very good name. This bottling (17 years, 46%) from 2008 can now be called a collector's item, so, be quick!
Oban is one of Scotland's oldest, still active distilleries. This 14-year-old standard malt shows the basic character of Oban well: juicy orange, malt, salty and a hint of smoke, oily in the mouth. And that for a reasonable price.
This 15 year old Highlander is a great introduction to the world of single malts. Also known as the 'honey malt', this Dalwhinnie combines fruity sweetness with the rich aromas of a long maturation. At a nice price. At 43%.
