Whisky Regions (Scotland)

Scotland's whisky regions are geographic areas that influence the flavor and character of Scotch whisky. Each region has distinct climate, water sources, and traditional production methods. The main regions are Speyside (known for sweet, fruity whiskies), Highlands (diverse flavors, from light to smoky), Islay (noted for heavily peated, smoky whiskies), Lowlands (generally lighter and floral), Campbeltown (rich, maritime whiskies), and the Islands (a mix, often with smoky or peaty notes). These regional differences help whiskey enthusiasts identify styles and origins, contributing to the rich variety found in Scotch whisky.
