  Lowland Single Malts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lowland Single Malts are single malt whiskies distilled in the lowlands of Scotland.
Traditionally Lowland Single Malts are triple distilled (though this has not been true of all of them), often giving them a lighter taste.
This likely played a role in the waning of the Lowland distilleries, as many single malt drinkers prefer somewhat heavier whiskies, while those who prefer lighter ones are often satisfied with the less expensive blends.

 Campbeltown Single Malts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campbeltown Single Malts are single malt Scotch whiskies distilled in the burgh of Campbeltown, Scotland, on the Kintyre peninsula.
Once a major producer of whisky with as many as 28 distilleries, and claiming the title "whisky capital of the world", the area has since declined, due to economic depression and the area's increasing association with poorer quality whisky.
Campbeltown is still generally viewed as a separate region (distinct from either the Highlands, Lowlands, or the other whisky producing regions) despite its dearth of active distilleries.

Campbeltown is widely regarded as the starting point for the introduction of whisky making into Scotland, if it was the Irish that introduced it as legend has it.

For lovers of single malt Scotch whiskies, this is a dram good time to be alive, a veritable golden age of plenty where tavern shelves groan under an ever-expanding selection of bottles.
The range of single cask whiskies from independent bottlers is increasing constantly, and the big distilleries, having woken up to the commercial potential of the liquid gold lying heretofore unappreciated in their cellars, have begun offering an expanding range of limited production, special-edition bottlings of their own.
There are few upmarket, and even some downmarket, establishments where a selection of single malts, as well as exclusive blends, cannot be found.

 Malts; buy rare and famous malt whisky (whiskey) online - Scotchwhisky.com
There are discernable differences between whiskies made in one region and those made in another.
Today over half of Scotland's malt whisky distilleries are on Speyside, and as a result the region itself has been carved up by commentators, either according to the rivers running through it or by its principle districts.
The latter course has been adapted and the whiskies made in or around Elgin, the Upper Spey, Dufftown and Glenrothes, will be considered as well as Glenlivet itself.

 Lowlands - Malt Whisky Regions - www.scotchwhisky.com
When Professor McDowell was writing, there were only two Lowland whiskies available as single malts - Rosebank and Bladnoch - yet there were ten operating distilleries.
By the 1880s almost the entire production of the Lowland distilleries went for blending: today, it is possible (and more cost effective) to create Highland malts with a light character to suit the requirements of blenders.
The dryness comes from the malt itself, not from peat (Lowlands tend to use unpeated malt), and this also lends a certain sweet fruitiness to the flavour and mouthfeel.
