The Six Classic Malts Of Scotland

The Six Classic Malts of Scotland where carefully selected collection of single malt whiskies by United Distillers & Vintners which is now owned by Diagio. The six selected malts are not a true reflection of the six Scottish Malt Whisky regions, but have been selected from their ever increasing range of single malts. They have been selected to embrace the full diversity of regional tastes and styles.

The region of West Highland was created to separate the Oban and Dalwhinnie distillery’s. Talisker is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, which is in the Island region. Creating this new category has allowed for the inclusion of both Talisker and Lagavulin, which both have a very large followings around the world.

Campbeltown’s association with the distillation of whisky has diminished with only three working distilleries in the remaining in the region, none owned by United Distillers & Vintners. The Lowlands have followed the trend and only four distilliarys remains, of which Glenkinchie is owned by United Distillers & Vintners.
