Lowland single malts are single malt whiskies distilled in Scotland’s lowlands. The region is home to seven distilleries which are both currently producing and commercially available: Ailsa Bay, in Girvan; Annandale Distillery in Annan; Auchentoshan near Clydebank; Bladnoch in Galloway; Daftmill in Fife; The Glasgow Distillery in Glasgow; and Glenkinchie distillery near Edinburgh.
Several new distilleries have begun to produce new-make spirit in recent years, including Kingsbarns distillery and InchDairnie distillery,both in Fife, and Lindores Abbey,at Ardgowan,
At least six other lowland single malts are still available, but are no longer distilled: Rosebank, Kinclaith, St. Magdalene, Ladyburn, Inverleven, and Littlemill.
As a region, the Lowlands have been more strongly associated with grain whisky and blended whisky than malt whisky. Blended whisky often uses a high proportion of Lowland malt, as the less intense flavour profile means it does not dominate the other constituent whiskies.

The flagship expression from the Glenkinchie distillery, one of the stalwarts of the Lowlands. A fantastic introduction to the region, Glenkinchie 12 Year Old shows off the characteristic lightness and grassy elements that Lowland whiskies are known for, with nods to cooked fruit and Sauternes wine along the way. Brilliant single malt to enjoy as an aperitif on a warm evening.
This 2021 Glenkinchie Distillers Edition was finished in Amontillado sherry casks after first being aged in recharred American oak casks. The secondary cask influence adds richer notes of nuts and spice to the characteristically light, fruity single malt.
This 24 year old Glenkinchie single malt is matured in refill European oak butts, part of Diageo’s 2016 Special Releases. 5,928 natural cask strength bottles were produced, making it the oldest official bottling of cask strength Glenkinchie ever released as well as the first matured exclusively in European oak!

Greign 20 Year Old Single Grain
Greign is a Single Grain Whisky from the Macduff distillery. The original founders of the distillery buy exceptional old casks for the maturation of their whiskies. The Greign was matured in a mixture of sherry casks and freshly burnt-out casks, making the single grain a smooth, full-bodied dram.
A deliciously creamy single grain Scotch whisky here, matured for 20 years before being bottled up. Two decades has given this one plenty of time for its flavour profile to develop all those hallmark yummy grain notes, so expect toffee, honey, and cooked fruits notes by the bucket-load.
