Glenglassaugh
A coastal distillery near Portsoy with a famously interrupted history — mothballed 1986, resurrected 2008, and reclassified by the SWA from Speyside to Highland in 2009. Now owned by Brown-Forman (GlenDronach, BenRiach sister), with distinctively coastal, salty-sweet core releases.

Oban
A tiny two-still distillery sitting right in the middle of the town it’s named after. Oban bridges Highland and West Coast island character — gently smoky, salty, fruity.
The Dalmore
The Highland distillery that appears on more end-of-year gift lists than any other. Dalmore is famous for heavy sherry-cask maturation and extremely serious prices at the top of its range.
Glenmorangie
Home to the tallest stills in Scotland — nearly five metres — which produces a notably light, fragrant spirit. Glenmorangie is one of the best-selling single malts in Scotland full stop.
