Scotland is home to six whisky producing regions which produce single malt whiskies with distinct qualities and characteristics of their location, climate and production methods. There really is something to suit all tastes, from the smoky and peaty flavours of Islay to the mellow smooth sweetness of Highland and Speyside whiskies
