Lowlands

The Lowland whisky region, situated in the southernmost part of Scotland, is known for producing some of the country's lightest and most delicate single malt whiskies. Often referred to as the "Lowland Ladies," these whiskies are typically soft and floral, with a gentle sweetness. Distilleries like Auchentoshan, Lochlea, and Bladnoch are emblematic of the region's style. Auchentoshan is particularly known for its triple distillation process, which creates a smooth, refined spirit with notes of citrus, vanilla, and fresh grass. Lowland whiskies are often characterized by their light body, subtle fruitiness, and minimal peat influence, making them an approachable choice for those new to single malts and a refreshing contrast to the bolder styles found in other Scottish regions.
