Single malts and other whiskies/whiskeys - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I'll take one of each, thanks.

Obviously I can't name them all....

OK, connoisseurs know that all malts from one region don't taste exactly the same as it's neighbours, but usually the majority of the single malts from one region are fairly similar to each other

And unlike many, I'll make a difference between the Northern Highland malts and the Soutern highland... I find some distictions.

Western Isles & West Coast- Jura, Aran, Skye, Mull and outer Hebrides (but there are no distilleries there)- this includes Springbank, Oban, Talisker Bowmore, Laphroiag, Lagavulin, Bowmore, Ardberg and Ledaig, plus a few more...

Northern Highlands - including Orkneys and coastal highland - Scapa, Glenmorangie, Glen Ord, Dalmore, Clynelish, Balblair

Southern Highlands - excepting the Speyside region... Dalwhinnie (despite being on the Spey, but almost at its source), Edradour, Glen Mohr, Lochnagar, Glen Garioch

Speyside - (the area around Elgin, and reaching almost to Inverness) - Aberlour, Balvenie, Longmorn, Glenfiddich, Cragganmore, Glenfarcas, Glenlivet, Macallan, Knockando, Tamnavullin and quite a few others...

Lowlands - Strathclyde, Lothian, Perthshire and Grampians : Glenkinchie (Edimburg), Autenstochan (Glasgow), Tullibardine (Perth) , Glengoyne, Bladnogh (almost Lake District), Loch Lomond (made famous in Tintin)

Ryes - mostly Canadians, but I understand some US are called that too... They're not single malts

Bourbon - US, mostly the old south and Appalachians ... no single malts either

Asia - amazingly enough India has a single malt (Amrhu) and Japan has two of them (both ultra-smoky) - can't remember or write their names though.

Blended, Single grain, Pure Malts, Blended Malts etc...... Scottish non-single malts >> Johnny walkers, Chivas and also the garbage for long drinks

Other UK malts - mostly ireland (Bushmill a.o.), but Wales and England have also some Single malts,

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
