Scotch Whisky Distilleries
Distillery Regions
Scotland was traditionally divided into four regions: The Highlands, Lowland, Islay, and Campbeltown.
Speyside, encompassing the Spey river valley in north-east Scotland, once considered part of the Highlands, has almost half of the total number (approx. 105 as of 2013) of distilleries in Scotland within its geographic boundaries; consequently it is officially recognized as a distinct region.
The Islands is not recognised as a region by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) and is considered part of the Highlands region.
- Lowland — Until recently there were only 3 working distilleries in the Lowlands although a number of new distilleries have opened in the past few years, the full current list is: Aisla Bay, Annandale, Auchentoshan, Bladnoch, Bonnington, Borders, Clydeside, Daftmill, Eden Mill, Jackton, Glasgow Distillery, Glenkinchie, Holyrood, Kingsbarns, Lindores Abbey and Lochlea.
- Speyside — has the largest number of distilleries, which includes: Aberlour, Balvenie, Cardhu,Cragganmore, Glenfarclas, Glenglassaugh, Glenfiddich, Speyburn, The Macallan, The Glenlivet, and The Glenrothes.
- Highland — some Highland distilleries: Aberfeldy, Balblair, Ben Nevis, Dalmore, Dalwhinnie, Glen Ord, Glenmorangie, Oban, and Old Pulteney.Campbeltown, once home to over 30 distilleries, currently has only three distilleries operating: Glen Scotia, Glengyle andSpringbank.
-
Islands, an unrecognised sub-region includes all of the whisky-producing islands (but excludes Islay): Arran, Jura, Mull,OTrkney and Skye — with their respective distilleries: Arran, Jura, Tobermory, Highland Park and Scapa, and Talisker.
- Islay — has eight producing distilleries: Ardbeg, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Kilchoman, Lagavulin and Laphroaig.
