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.
Bottler Douglas Laing has been in business since 1948 and has built a rock-solid reputation with over 5,300 bottlings. One of those thousands of bottlings was this 11-year-old, bourbon-cask-matured Ben Nevis single malt whisky in 2009.
New make spirit from Highland distillery Pulteney matured for 20 years in one of bottler Gordon & MacPhail's own sherry casks, after which it was bottled as Old Pulteney single malt whisky in G&M's well-known Connoisseurs Choice series at 56.9% ABV.

A nice, robust standard whisky from this Highland distillery. Matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 48%. And that at a very acceptable price. That you pronounce Glen Garioch as Glen Geeree does not matter then.
With this Platinum edition, bottled for the South African market, Glendronach Distillery honours its founder, James Allardice. The single malt whisky matured for 16 years in Oloroso sherry casks and was released in 2014 at 48% ABV in 750ml bottles.
This Edradour single malt whisky matured for nearly 13 years in four select Pinot Noir casks. The Highlander is bottled from these casks at a strength of 48.2% ABV. It's a fruity dram (think red fruit, apple juice, grapes, and berries) with woody notes.
With Taiwanese ART, Archives bottled a Ben Nevis single malt whisky in 2015 that had matured for 16 years in a bourbon cask. A beautiful combination of the fruity, maritime and modestly smoky character of the Islay malt and the notes of the cask. (55.4%)

The colourful labels of Chorlton Whisky's bottlings are certainly impressive, but so is the quality. Here's a 13-year-old single malt whisky from the lesser-known Highland distillery Tullibardine. A great bottle to try to get to know this malt! 52.2% ABV
The 2023 autumn edition of Decadent Drinks series Equinox & Solstice is a bottling of two refill bourbon casks in which Aberfeldy single malt whisky matured for 10 years. Robust and full of character, this is a perfect warming whisky for the autumn. 48.5%
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.

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.
A classic single malt, that's undoubtedly the whisky from Islay distillery Ben Nevis. Cadenhead truly captures that spirit with this bottling. This Ben Nevis matured for a good 26 years in a bourbon cask and is bottled at cask strength (51.5% ABV).
A real old-school sherried whisky, this at cask strength bottled Glen Garioch. Striking is the 'grown-up' balance between the influence of the sherry casks on which this malt matured and the spirit. This makes the whisky taste older than 15 years.
There are relatively few third-party bottlings of Deanston single malt whisky. But here's one of them: a 9 year old edition by Torsten Paul Whisky Company. The Deanston is finished on an ex-Islay ex-oloroso octave cask. Quite special! (74 bottles at 52.3%

This Glenmorangie Companta of unknown age matured in exclusive French wine casks and was bottled in 2014. A fine example of the experimental side of the distillery, which was one of the first to finish whisky in other casks than it matured in. (46%)
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!
The Old Pulteney 15 is a core bottling of this Highland distillery. And rightly so: it is a beautiful, characterful, yet mild single malt whisky that double-matured on American and Spanish oak. Nose, taste and finish follow each other harmoniously. (46%)
