Indeed richfzs, been there. It did claim to be the smallest, but then Kilchoman on Islay opened, a wee farm distillery, and I think they are the only other distillery after Springbank to do the whole process on site, except of course they are taking it one step further - they grow their own organic barley.
Ballantines is cracking blend - nice fancy screw top on the new bottle too! Not tried the 17year old blend, that's supposed to be a stunner.
Most northerly I think is Highland Park, just a tad further north than Scapa.
My tip if you are splashing the cash is to go for unchillfiltered stuff, and consider some of the Signatory independent bottles.
Got a nice 3 year old bottle of this that I can't bring myself to open (I think the first time I've had a problem opening a bottle)
