1. Tropical desert climes accelerate ageing, cool evenings create a balanced, mature depth in a whisky, such as the Godawan Single Malt.
2. This whisky matures amidst mountain valleys and crisp, cool air where casks can breathe slow, yielding notes of deep malt and honeyed spice.
3. Cool, consistent climate allows slow, measured ageing amidst rolling hills and misty glens as in The Singleton of Glendullan.
4. Corn and charred oak, and humid southern air characterise this whisky’s making, the climes of Kentucky lending it deep colours and a distinct sweetness.

6. Triple-distilled, from a land of rolling green and sleets of rain, this whisky is light yet full of character.
