Lowland Single and Blended Malt Whisky
Lowland whisky refers to Scotch whisky crafted in the southern region of Scotland. Unlike their Highland and Islay counterparts, Lowland whiskies are prized for their lighter, smoother profiles with delicate flavors of flowers and fruits, and less emphasis on smokiness.
Notable Lowland whisky brands include Glenkinchie, located near Edinburgh, renowned for its citrus and vanilla notes. Auchentoshan, close to Glasgow, stands out for its triple distillation process, resulting in a smooth, nutty taste. Bladnoch, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, offers whiskies with subtle floral tones and hints of sweetness and spice.
These distilleries exemplify the refined and approachable qualities of Lowland whisky, appealing to those who appreciate a more nuanced Scotch experience.
