List of Distilleries in Scotland is a comprehensive catalogue of the various distilleries located in Scotland. Scotland is renowned for its Scotch whisky, and these distilleries play a crucial role in the production of this globally recognized spirit. The distilleries in Scotland are spread across various regions, each with its unique characteristics and styles of whisky.

Regions of Scotch Whisky Production[edit | edit source]

Scotland's whisky production is divided into five distinct regions: Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown. Each region is known for its specific style of whisky, influenced by the local environment and traditional distilling methods.

Highland[edit | edit source]

The Highland region is the largest whisky-producing region in Scotland. It is known for its diverse range of flavours, from light and floral to rich and peaty.

Lowland[edit | edit source]

The Lowland region is known for its light, gentle whiskies with a dry finish. The whiskies from this region are often used in blends due to their soft character.

Speyside[edit | edit source]

Speyside is home to more than half of Scotland's distilleries. The whiskies from this region are known for their rich, complex flavours and are often aged in sherry casks.

Islay[edit | edit source]

Islay is famous for its heavily peated whiskies, which have a distinctive smoky flavour. The island's distilleries are known for their traditional methods of production.

Campbeltown[edit | edit source]

Once home to over 30 distilleries, Campbeltown now has only three. However, these distilleries produce a unique style of whisky, known for its salty, maritime character.
