Highland Scotch Whiskies Under $100
Highland Scotch Whiskies Under $100
The Scottish Highlands represent one of the most storied and geographically vast whisky-producing regions in the world, stretching from the rugged northern coastline down through rolling glens and ancient distillery towns. What makes Highland Scotch so compelling is its sheer diversity — unlike regions with a more defined house style, the Highlands produces everything from light and floral drams to rich, sherried expressions and even lightly peated bottlings. This range makes it an ideal hunting ground for both newcomers exploring single malts for the first time and seasoned collectors looking to broaden their palate. When shopping for Highland whiskies, it pays to pay attention to cask finishing, age statements, and regional sub-styles, as these factors dramatically shape what ends up in the glass. The good news is that quality Highland Scotch remains remarkably accessible, with a wealth of well-crafted expressions available well under the $100 mark — proof that world-class whisky doesn't have to come with a world-class price tag.
