What do you do with a Single Malt selection reaching over 200 different bottlings?
We feel that the best thing to do is to introduce customers to the large breadth of styles
and character of these wonderful whiskies. If you're in a rut and want to branch out,
if you're a little bored of the whisky you usually pour, here's a few whiskies to try soon.

Let's take a quick look at three Single Malt Whiskies from three very different areas :

Auchentoshan from the Lowlands, Clynelish from the Highlands and
Highland Park from the Orkney Islands.

There are only three active distilleries left in the Lowlands. During the 18th and 19th centuries
this area was the main producer of whisky, but now the only single malt whisky producers
remaining are Auchentoshan, Glenkinchie and Bladnoch. Of all the distilleries in Scotland,
these are noteworthy because only they triple distill their whisky. The 10 Year Old Auchentoshan
is made from an unpeated malt and aged in used American Bourbon barrels. The result is a
medium bodied whisky with a more delicate flavor than many Scotch whiskies. This is a
wonderful whisky for those who are looking for a lighter, clean and sweeter dram.

Clynelish, from Brora in the Northern Highlands, is a much different whisky. The color Of the
14 Year Old Clynelish is intense gold. The nose is rather peaty and reveals a pleasant sea
freshness. It goes on with :fruits, spices and malted barley on a background of floral hints.
The palate follows the nose and is slightly peaty. The finish is dryer and is also marked by
smoked barley and some salted hints. This is a whisky every Scotch lover should have
in their collection.

Lastly is Highland Park, the northernmost distillery in Scotland, way up in the Orkney Islands.
This is one of the few distilleries to malt its own barley. The locally cut peat is mixed with heather
before being used as fuel to dry the malt. The 12 Year Old is a smooth, balanced single malt
with a rich full flavor and a gentle smoky finish. The nose and the finish both give up hints of
heathery sweetness. This is a whisky that regularly garners accolades and high praise from
reviewers and critics. Try it, and see for yourself why.
