The best known of all the Northern Highland malts is Glenmorangie. Glenmorangie, is made at Tain on the Cromarty Firth, and is the most popular malt in Scotland. Over the last decade Glenmorangie pioneered the now often copied process of wood finishing. Althoght this process is not universally popular; it transformed the company’s commercial success.

The bottle definitely stands out on the shelf, which was the entire point of the early 2000’s redesign. Glenmorangie has been the best selling single malt in Scotland since 1983, and globally they hold 6% of the total single malt whisky market. Product

The aroma coming off the glass is fruity and delicious. There’s the ripe pear aroma that I usually get from Glenmorangie, but there’s also dried figs, apricots, honey, baking spices, raisins, walnuts, and some flower blossoms on top. It’s like a crisp pear-forward version of a fruitcake, and I’m absolutely loving it. Working south along the route of the A9, next comes Clynelish at Brora (built in 1969, beside an earlier distillery who’s whiskies are known as Brora) - a sophisticated and complex whisky older expressions are very highly regarded and the malt deserves to be better known. Perhaps the reason that it is rarely seen as a distillery bottling is that it’s malt is a key component of Johnnie Walker. Maybe because it is the largest geographical area, the Highlands is also the hardest Whisky region to pin down stylistically. For this reason it is easiest not to consider the Highlands as one large are, but as 4 smaller and much more distinct ones. Whiskybase B.V.

Most are found along the valleys of the Tay and its tributaries. The furthest north is Dalwhinnie, which is almost in Speyside indeed; it is at the very head of the river, over sixty miles from Grantown-on-Spey.

South again is Aberfeldy distillery, on the edge of the pretty town of the same name. Glenturret, at Crieff is one of the claimants to being the oldest distillery, although it was dismantled in the 1920s and is much changed.Glenmorangie scotch whisky is about as local as you can get, and this version is especially local. What makes it so unique is that this expression uses only barley that is grown and harvested from Glenmorangie’s own estate farms, which are malted and cooked using water from the local Tarlogie spring that runs through the nearby hills. Taking a sip, all of those components don’t necessarily make the transition from the aroma to the flavor. At first, there are some darker and sweeter flavors: caramel or brown sugar, mixed with some apple and baking spices. These flavors develop and change with a little bit of time, first taking on a more nutty dark chocolate tone before being joined by crisp pear, floral blossoms, and honey on the finish. While I appreciate the size of the bottle, and the purpose that it serves (standing out on a bar or store shelf), I do think that it makes things a touch difficult. It’s about the same size as a normal wine bottle instead of the typically shorter and stouter whisky containers — so getting it in and out of its spot in the whisky cabinet can be a struggle. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Blair Athol and Edradour whisky distilleries are both near Pitlochrie. The former was founded in the 1790s and was substantially rebuilt in 1949 Edradour is the smallest distillery in Scotland - a happy survivor of the days of 'farm distilleries' - yet produces a clean, fresh, attractive and justly popular whisky.
