History
Whisky has been distilled in Scotland since at least the 15th century. The modern scotch industry developed in the 19th century with the invention of the column still and the blending of malt and grain whiskies. Each region—Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown—has distinct characteristics.
