Everyone needs a hobby. One of mine is Scotch Whiskies. My goal is to sample a bottle from each of the distilleries below. My original list had 100 distilleries listed, taken from “Whiskies (Collins Gem)“, a small pocket guide. However, some of those listed are no longer bottling, so I have made some substitutions. So far I have sampled out of 105. The ones in green I have had, the ones in red I have not. Most are single malts, but a few are single grain whiskys (marked with an asterisk.) Here are some guides to pronunciation:
