Mixing It Up

Whilst the title of the most northernmost whisky distillery in the world goes to Aurora Distillery, situated far beyond the Article Circle in Norway, there are several distilleries which are based at the tip of Scotland. These are eight Highland distilleries in Scotland which are the most northern, and arguably the most Highland - starting from the highest up.

By far the largest producing region, the Highland region stretches from the North of Glasgow all the way to the northernmost tip of the east coast and beyond.

The Western Highlands offer full body with a peaty punch, such as Oban. Here are ten of our favourites:
