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.

This is not just any 8 year old Glendronach single malt whisky. You can tell by the bottle (a Dumpy Green Bottle, 75 cl, with a withered, discolored seal). This is a bottling from perhaps the 1970s, maybe earlier. This is a real 'old skool' dram! (43%)
