Highland malts are tricky ones to characterize, covering such a wide area from Wick in the North East of Scotland, the home of Old Pulteney down to Glengoyne, outside Glasgow. Some would even include Campbeltown as a Highland malt now while others will claim the town's independence. These malts range from medium to light bodied with heather and some peatiness in Northern Highland whiskies and a sweeter floral flavour in the whiskies further South.
