There are five that remain undisputed: Speyside, Highlands & Islands, Lowlands, Islay, and Campbeltown. The Islands are often considered a region on its own, but they are actually part of the Highlands. We've opted to consider it the sixth region as their flavor profiles are quite different to those in the Highlands on the mainland.

If you didn’t know it already, there are more than 120 distilleries in Scotland, grouped into five different whisky regions (as well as one more that is often thrown in there) in Scotland. Each one has its flavors, styles, and history. They are the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown.
