Single Malt from the Highlands takes on many shapes and forms. Because the region is so vast it is difficult to make sweeping statements. The most popular Highland single malt (not including the Speyside region, which is situated in the Highlands) – is Glenmorangie. Typically, single malt from the region is put into four subregions, named for the cardinal compass points. To the north there are big bodied single malts, with cereal sweetness and richness, take The Dalmore, for example. Toward the south there are lighter, fruitier whiskies with a definite dryness. Aberfeldy is a shining example of this. To the east there are some full-bodied, dry whiskies with lots of fruit and pungency. The superb Glen Garioch is one such single malt distillery. The Western Highlands offer full body and real power with peaty, smoky overtones, nearer the coast there are some more maritime flavoured whiskies too including malts from Clynelish and Pulteney.

An addition to its core range in 2024, Tomatin 12 Year Old Sherry Cask builds upon the classic 12 Year Old but is instead fully matured in sherry casks for 12 years. The bottle design boasts lots of scarlet and gold to pay homage to the flavours imparted by the sherry wood during the cask maturation process.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream (70cl, 46%)
To create a single malt evocative of a trip to the ice cream parlour, legendary whisky maker Dr Bill Lumsden aged this one-off Glenmorangie in a combination of bourbon barrels and toasted new oak. He carefully selected these new casks with high concentrations of vanillin, an organic compound present in oak which imparts flavours of creamy vanilla. As a result, this inviting Highland whisky is densely layered with notes of coconut, brioche, almonds and popcorn with hints of lemon, sweet anise and – of course – ice cream.
The Glenmorangie ‘A Tale of…’ series expands with another expression that reflects director of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden’s sweet tooth. The good doctor was inspired by his favourite ice cream parlour to create this whisky, which is rich, creamy, and full of vanilla flavours.
To achieve this, Lumsden selected casks rich in vanillin, the aromatic compound which brings vanilla flavours to whisky. The good people at Glenmo explain: “When you toast barrels, the lignin (which aids the wood’s structure) breaks down and releases compounds including vanillin. Glenmorangie’s high-vanillin casks were toasted in a particular way, to create higher concentrations of vanillin”.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream represents the first time the distillery has used casks toasted to achieve this effect. This followed experimentation with a variety of different woods before selecting virgin oak casks toasted in this particular way. The press release also makes a point of noting that the whisky does not contain vanilla extract. Which would be ILLEGAL in Scotch whisky.

The flagship Glenmorangie Original has been reimagined by the Highland Distillery, with the minimum age of the whisky raised to at least 12 years old. The single malt Scotch, which won a gold medal at the World Whiskies Awards 2024 before it was even released to the public, was adapted by Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s director of whisky creation and his team as they felt there was extra silkiness, complexity, and sweetness to be gained by going to 12 years old.
Glenmorangie 16 Year Old The Nectar (70cl, 46%)
Golden in colour and honeyed on the palate, The Nectar is made by finishing Glenmorangie single malt in casks used to age some of the world’s great sweet wines. These include Sauternes and Monbazillac from France, Moscatel from Spain and Tokaji from Hungary. A fitting successor to the discontinued Nectar D’or and an excellent after-dinner dram.
It was the memory of entering a French pastry shop that prompted Glenmorangie head of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden to create the brilliant Glenmorangie The Nectar D’Or. Sadly, in 2023 Glenmorangie made the announcement that Nectar D’or was being discontinued, but we weren’t upset for too long because the Highland Scotch whisky brand has created a more than fitting successor: Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Year Old
It’s a single malt that was aged for 14 years in bourbon casks that was then finished for two more years in a new combination of great sweet white wine casks. This includes French Sauternes and Monbazillac to bring notes of orchard fruit and buttery pastries, Spanish Moscatel for sweet, syrupy dessert flavours, and Hungarian Tokaji barrels for nuttier, honeyed elements.

Glenglassaugh Portsoy (70cl, 49.1%)
After two decades of silence, the Glenglassaugh distillery reawoke in 2008, and now it’s time to discover a brand new single malt, produced under the expert direction of master blender Rachel Barrie. Portsoy is a richly peated single malt, named after the coastal distillery’s neighbouring harbour village. Matured in a selection of sherry, bourbon, and Port casks, it boasts a satisfyingly smoky, maritime character with waves of tropical fruit, salted liquorice, sticky soy, and chocolate.

The distillery sits on the rugged north Aberdeenshire coast, nestled behind the beautiful surfer’s haven, Sandend Bay. Master blender Rachel Barrie has fond childhood memories of time spent at Sandend and even learned to surf there, and now the bay is honoured in the form of this unpeated single malt. Matured in a combo of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, it’s bursting with notes of tropical fruit and tablet, with delicate coastal salinity in the distance.
Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old (70cl, 45%)

More awesomeness here from Ardnamurchan! You might be wondering what happened with the name on this one, did the folks at Ardnamurchan forget to add all the usual numbers to the end?

Dalmore 45 Year Old 2021 Release (70cl, 40%)
The Dalmore 45 has been hand crafted by Master Distiller Richard Paterson who has used some of the distillery’s rarest aged liquids to create what Richard himself has described as ‘flawless perfection’.
Initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the liquid has then been transferred into two different Vintage Graham’s Port Colheita pipes dating from 1961 and 1963 to create layers of flavour, which are indulgent, smooth and complex.
For its final flourish the whisky was then married together in first fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks providing The Dalmore 45 with a truly unrivalled finish. The Dalmore’s use of multiple casks is a fitting example of the distillery’s commitment to exquisite cask curation, which focuses on sourcing and utilising only the best casks from the world’s finest bodegas and wineries.
Purposefully retained at 40% ABV, The Dalmore 45 features exquisite flavours of red berries, soft liquorice, crushed hazelnuts, bitter chocolate and Manuka honey. This is followed by the sweet flavours of sticky toffee pudding, Bramley apples and juicy dates to finish.
Richard Paterson commented: “By personally selecting the very finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks and Port Colheita Pipes from 1961 and 1963, I have been able to create a truly unique expression which is indulgent and smooth with a vibrant and lively flavour profile. It takes time, dedication and passion to create an expression like The Dalmore 45 and age has gracefully matured this distinguished spirit to make it one of The Dalmore’s greatest aged spirits. This is a very special whisky, which I would describe as flawless perfection.”
Only 500 bottles of The Dalmore 45 will be released globally this year. 2021 Release

Glencadam American Oak Reserve (70cl, 40%)
A creamy Highland single malt from the Glencadam Distillery, dubbed American Oak Reserve. This expression was matured in bourbon barrels, imparting their gloriously vanilla-rich, softly fruity, enjoyably spicy notes to Glencadam’s expertly crafted spirit, resulting in a wonderfully enjoyable dram.
