Limited whisky releases from Scotland

About this listScotland

Under the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, Scotch Whisky must be distilled at a distillery in Scotland, matured only in Scotland in oak casks of no more than 700 litres for at least three years, and bottled at no less than 40% alcohol by volume. The same rules protect five geographical names: the regions Highland, Lowland and Speyside, and the localities Campbeltown and Islay. Islay, the Isle of Islay in Argyll, supplies a large share of this list, with Ardbeg, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Kilchoman, Lagavulin and Laphroaig, and several of them make a yearly Feis Ile bottling. Campbeltown, the South Kintyre ward of Argyll and Bute, is represented by Springbank, which also makes Longrow and Hazelburn, by Glengyle with its Kilkerran releases, and by Glen Scotia. Speyside is defined by named wards of Moray and the Badenoch and Strathspey ward of Highland Council, so a distillery's address decides whether it may use that name rather than the wider Highland one.
