The Lowlands section mixes famous closed distilleries with some of Scotland's newest. Auchentoshan has the most bottles, followed by Daftmill, Rosebank, Lochlea, Bladnoch, Lindores Abbey, Glenkinchie and Littlemill. St Magdalene, Kinclaith and Inverleven represent lost distilleries, and grain whisky from North British, Cameronbridge, Port Dundas, Cambus and Girvan gives the region a wide range of single grain bottlings.
The Lowland region covers southern Scotland below the Highland line. Its malts are traditionally light, grassy and floral, made for easy drinking, and triple distillation was once common here. Auchentoshan, near Glasgow, still triple distils all its spirit. Glenkinchie, near Edinburgh, and Bladnoch, Scotland's southernmost distillery, are long-standing names.
Many Lowland bottles are single grain, made in column stills mainly from wheat or maize at large distilleries such as North British, Cameronbridge and Girvan. Old single grains from closed sites like Port Dundas, Cambus and Carsebridge are usually independent bottlings, often at great age and cask strength.
Lowland single malt whisky is traditionally light, grassy and floral, with notes of lemon, cereal and honey, and is usually unpeated. Auchentoshan, which triple distils, shows the classic style. Newer Lowland distilleries such as Lochlea and Daftmill make fuller, fruitier malts.
Yes. Rosebank in Falkirk closed in 1993 and was rebuilt and reopened by Ian Macleod Distillers in 2023. Whisky distilled before 1993 is among the most collected Lowland single malt. New Rosebank spirit will take years to reach comparable ages.
Triple distillation was a tradition in the Scottish Lowlands, and Auchentoshan near Glasgow kept it for all its spirit. A third distillation produces a higher-strength, lighter and smoother new make. Most other Scotch malt distilleries distil twice.
Single grain Scotch whisky is made at one distillery from water and malted barley with other whole grains, usually wheat or maize, and generally in continuous column stills. It is mostly used in blends, but old single grains from distilleries such as North British, Port Dundas or Cambus are bottled on their own and can be soft, sweet and complex.
Daftmill is a farm distillery in Fife, in the Scottish Lowlands, which began distilling in 2005 using barley grown on its own farm. It produces very small quantities and releases them in limited batches and single casks. Its whisky is unpeated and fruity.
About Glenbotal
The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
