The whisky's character, notes and nuances are largely shaped by its region of origin. Read on and join us on a trip through the most recognized whiskey regions in the world.

1. Speyside (Scotland): Considered the heart of Scotch whiskey production, Speyside is home to over half of Scotland's distilleries. Known for its fruity and often complex malts, this region has given the world some of its most beloved single malts.

2. Islay (Scotland): Islay whiskeys are known for their smoky, peaty character and salty, maritime notes. They are ideal for those looking for a powerful and distinctive taste.

3. Highlands (Scotland): The vast geographical extent of the Highlands allows for a wide range of flavor profiles, from light and floral in the northern parts to peaty and smoky in the western regions.

4. Lowlands (Scotland): Whiskeys from the Lowlands are generally softer, more delicate and often with floral notes. They are ideal as introductory whiskeys for beginners.

5. Campbeltown (Scotland): Once home to over 30 distilleries, but now only a few, Campbeltown produces a distinct malt with a maritime profile and often a slightly salty finish.

6. Kentucky (USA): As the heart of bourbon production, Kentucky is known for its rich, sweet whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel and sometimes a hint of tobacco.

7. Tennessee (USA): In addition to traditional American whiskey ingredients, Tennessee whiskey is known for its unique filtering process through sugar maple charcoal, which gives a smooth finish.
