Lowland

Lowland malts are defined as those coming from the southern half of Scotland - that is, from south of the highland line.  In terms of their taste, the Lowland malts are perhaps a good first stepping stone into the wider world of malt whiskies for the drinker who wants to graduate from blends: relatively unassertive in character, they are generally soft and light, with a gently sweetness which ensures them many fans among more experienced palates.  Much of the produce of the Lowland malt distilleries is used in blends.
