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 distillery was founded in Edinburgh in 1886/7 by several well-known men who wanted to maintain their independence from DCL. Its name comes from the railway company that served the distillery.

This 25-year-old single-grain Scotch joins the Cinema Series from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, bottled up at cask strength.
Batch 10 is a release of 435 bottles.

Greign 20 Year Old Lowlands Single Grain (70cl, 40%)
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.
