Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whisky from the Highland Region in Scotland. Highland single malts are single malt Scotch whiskies produced in the Highland region of Scotland. This category includes the whiskies produced on the islands around Scotland. However it excludes Islay.
Looking at the blog, I realised last week that I have been trying a mixture of blended malts, such as Black Bottle, as well as Islay and Highland drams. This is not about to change, as a friend invited me for drinks and we tried the Glen Deveron 20 year old Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The release is part of the Royal Burgh of Banff Collection Charter of Robert II, King of Scotland.

Looking for a bold, smoky whisky with a modern edge? The Noble Rebel Smoke Symphony blends rich peat, charred fruit, and Rioja wine cask influence—creating a layered dram that’s perfect for adventurous whisky lovers craving something fresh yet familiar.
I am looking back at a dram I tasted last year during my visit to the Loch Lomond Distillery: The Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 12 year old single malt whisky. During August last year, I had the opportunity to go on a Loch Lomond distillery tour at their facility in Alexandria, located in the Scottish Highlands.
During my trip to Scotland in August, I had the pleasure of visiting the Loch Lomond distillery in the Scottish Highlands. After an informative tour, we were treated to a tasting session with Gary Mills, where we sampled some outstanding drams. One of the highlights was the Loch Lomond Inchmoan 12 year old “Smoke and Spice” single malt Scotch whisky.
During my recent holiday in the UK, I had the chance to try some intriguing whiskies. While visiting the Loch Lomond distillery was a highlight, my brother-in-law also treated us to some interesting expressions from his personal collection. One of the standouts was the Ardnamurchan AD single malt whisky from the Scottish West Highlands.
