This series was created in the 1990's in an effort to showcase some of the fine malts from distilleries owned by Scottish Malt Distillers (later Diageo), which included Aberfeldy, Clynelish, Caol Ila, Mortlach, Rosebank and many more. In total there have been 26 distilleries included in the Flora & Fauna series over time, whilst in 1997 a limited cask strength variation of the series was released.
