Malt Whiskies

Once upon a time there were very distinct given Whisky regions. Broadly speaking, as follows:
Speyside: which has the greatest number of working distilleries in Scotland, and its own broad styles. Neither too heavy nor too light, able to satisfy most palates.

Islay: at one time considered to have only heavy, pungent, smokey and assertive Whiskies; but now has lighter, fruitier contributions.

Island: similar to, but distinct from, Islay. One has only to think of Talisker and Arran, for example.

Highland: all those distilleries outwith Speyside and above the Highland/Lowland divide.

Lowland: those very few distilleries left lying below the Highland/Lowland divide with a far lighter, floral style.

Campbeltown: this is still considered a region, again with its own distinct style.
