Spirits: Lowland
Although Lowland Scotland used to be a hive of activity when it came to whisky production, there are now only three distilleries in operation. Auchentoshan, just west of Glasgow, Bladnoch, in Wigtown on the Solway Firth, and Glenkinchie, 30 minutes drive east from Edinburgh. Although mothballed, occasionally rare bottlings from the Littlemill, Rosebank, and St. Magdalene distilleries will appear on the market. Lowlands are very slightly peated and generally light in body but can offer expressive aroma of grass, flowers, citrus, and apple.
