| Scotland is divided into regions coinciding
with the type of whisky it produces. The distilleries below a line
from Dundee to Greenock produce lowland malts which are lighter with
a subtle flavour best suited as aperitifs. Whisky produced above the
line is considered Highland.
|
The east of Scotland from Dundee to Royal Loch Nagar produce a whisky whose predominant flavour is malt, although much depends on how it is casked. To the west from Speyside to Oban the whisky is very well balanced.There are, however, distinct flavours to be found in the Islays.
|
Speyside is the modern heart of whisky production with over 30 per cent of Scotch malt whisky such as Glenlivet, Glenfarclas, Glenfiddich and the MaCallan coming from this small area. This is where the illegal trade flourished. |
