Tucked in on the southern edge of the Highlands and nestling at the foot of the Ochil hills, the new generation of whisky is maturing quietly whilst the older stock forms its malt range. Meanwhile a number of excellent whisky ales are being produced. The taste is smooth and oily, the texture is round and fruity.
