acroyear...about the MacAllan scotch distillery.
It is, indeed, a "Speyside" scotch, just like GlenDronach and Balvenie and many others. It is first labeled a "highland" scotch to distinguish it from the lowlands, not because it's a highland in the sense of a scotch from the Inverness area or from Oban.
Update: brain had farted - too much GlenMorangie - GlenMorangie's not a speyside, but is from Ross-shire, the region in the middle of the highlands joining east and west and going west to the coastline and including Inverness. Specifically, Tain is a village in the north on the way up into Caithness, and dammit I should have known that 'cause![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
