Highland single malts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whisky producing regions of Scotland

Highland single malts are single malt Scotch whiskies produced in the Highland region of Scotland. This categorisation includes the whiskies produced on the islands around the perimeter of Scotland (the Island single malts), except for Islay (see Islay whisky). Incongruously, the area also includes certain lowland areas in the North-East of the country such as Banffshire and Aberdeenshire.

Legal status[edit]

Highland is a "protected locality" for Scotch Whisky distilling under UK Government legislation.[1]
