Lowland whisky

(Lowland single malts, Lowland Scotch)

Lowland is a region for Scottish whisky that is located in the south of Scotland. This small region, in terms of the number of distilleries, is mostly associated with triple distillation, though not all distilleries employ it. Traditionally, whisky that is produced in the area will be lighter, softer, smoother, and more elegant, with a floral and fruity character and typical honeysuckle, grass, toffee, ginger, toast, and cinnamon aromas.


Because of their light style and the lack of peaty flavors, these whiskies are often called the Lowland Ladies. They make a perfect aperitif and are excellent entry-level whisky. Best distilleries in the region include Glenkinchie, Auchentoshan, and Bladnoch.
