Auchentoshan, The Bladnoch,Glenkinchie and one of the largest grain alcohol producing distilleries the Cameronbrig just south of Dundee are the last of the working malt whisky distilleries in the Lowland area. Scant remnants from over 215 stills once recorded to be in the lowlands in the mid 18th. centuary. There is one other which is mothballed at the moment - the Rosebank. The Littlemill is unlikely to reopen with a good portion of its still-house demolished and used as part of a housing scheme, however, there is always hope!
Generally Lowland whiskys are lighter and more flowery than their northern counterparts. The Auchentoshan is perhaps the most notable, using the triple distilling process traditionaly favoured by much of the area's whisky producers in the pre-war years.
