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.
Glenmorangie is one of the pioneers of whisky finishing. This bottle is an excellent example of this: we estimate that it was bottled sometime in the 1990s, as the label also indicates. The single malt whisky is finished in sherry casks. (43%)

Rare! Almost forgotten! Very tasty! To celebrate their 30th birthday, Signatory Vintage released this special bottling: a 36-year-old sherry cask matured North Port / Brechin single malt whisky. At cask strength of course. A collector's item.
The label does not inform us on this matter, but we assume that 'Organic' refers to organic barley. Furthermore, this 15-year-old Deanston single malt whisky is an excellent example of the honey-flower-malt character of this Highland distillery.
The Ben Nevis Distillery produces a classic Highland single malt whisky that scores well on whiskybase.com, for example. Van Wees has now released this Ben Nevis bottling for a reasonable price again. 7 years old, matured on a bourbon cask, and at 60.5%.

Distilling since 2013 in the far north of Scotland, Wolfburn reached a new milestone with the release of their first batch of 10-year-old whisky. This whisky fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks and is bottled at 46%. Non-chill-filtered and natural color
This 18 year old single malt whisky is one of the core bottlings of the Royal Brackla Distillery in the Highlands. The whisky is finished in Palo Cortado shery casks. That sherry influence is not overpowering, and in balance with the fruitiness of Brackla
Long ago, Royal Brackla's single malt whisky was the first malt used in the 'invention' of the blended whisky. But you can still taste Brackla whisky in its pure form. Like this 10-year-old bottling by Duncan Taylor that matured in a sherry cask. 53.8%
The single malt whisky of Royal Lochnagar near Balmoral Castle was included in Diageo's Classic Malts series in 2005. So the whisky participates in the Diageo Special Releases that many are looking forward to. 16 years old and at 57.5% is this edition.
Next to Highland distillery Glen Ord there is a malting house for regional barley. This supplies the malt from which the Glen Ord single malt whisky is distilled. In 1997, a 23-year-old bottling of that whisky appeared in the Rare Malts Selection. (59.8%)
Fettercairn started distilling whisky two centuries ago, and the spirit for their single malt whisky still flows from the stills. Hart Brothers chose a bourbon cask on which Fettercairn aged for 15 years for their Single Cask - Cask Strength series. 55.9%
A pleasant and fairly complex standard bottling, this Founder’s Reserve from Glen Garioch. This malt combines the tones and tastes of the spirit and the bourbon and sherry casks on which it matured in a surprising way. At 48%.
There are whisky enthusiasts who still regret the closure of the Lochside Distillery in 1992. The single malt whisky from the Highland distillery was highly appreciated! We hope to provide some comfort with this 19-year-old Lochside bottling from 2011.
Fettercairn works with traditional distillation equipment but uses an unorthodox technique to cool the stills, resulting in a 'lighter' spirit. The single malt whisky in this Chapter 7-bottling matured for 11 years in a bourbon cask. (51.6% cask strength)
A special edition from the young, sustainable Nc'nean Distillery. The single malt whisky was aged for 35% in bourbon and for 65% in re-charred red wine casks, delivering a buttery and creamy taste, with notes of sweet fruit, caramel and toffee. (48,5%)
Young and powerful, that's this Teaninich single malt whisky in two words. The House of MacDuff bottled this malt at cask strength (62.3%) after 9 years of aging. Apart from independent bottlings like this, you won't find Teaninich whisky in the store.
Douglas Laing's Timorous Beastie series consists of blended Highland malts. And now the first bottling of the subseries The Cheese Cellar has been released. This brings the well-known combination of whisky and cheese to full advantage! (port matured, 48%)
This Tomatin Single Highland Malt was bottled by the distillery in 2005 for the Italian market. The single malt whisky is 10 years old and filled at 40% ABV. A simple dram with a vintage in the last century. Always interesting.
New bottlings of Glen Albyn single malt whisky, the distillery of which closed in 1983, will hardly be released anymore. That's why this 26-year-old Rare Malts bottling from 2002 is worth attention alone. A Highlander with a character of its own. (54.8%)
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.
Here's another special edition from Highland-distillery Deanston. They previously released 15-year-old bottlings that were finished in Marsala or Sauternes casks; here the single malt whisky was finished in Tequila casks. And that is quite special! 52.5%
This Teaninich single malt whisky matured for more than 12 years, most of which in a bourbon cask, but the last year in a small cask that previously had Hungarian wine matured. Berry Bros & Rudd bottled 163 bottles of Teaninich at 55.5% from that cask.
The Morven is the peated standard bottling of the young Wolfburn distillery. Smoke is clearly but not intrusive present, in the palette. There are also notes of caramel, malt, hay and nuts and, ultimately, some fruit. Worth trying!
