Single malt Scotch



Good Morning friends

Single malt Scotch is single malt whisky made in Scotland.

To be a single malt scotch the whisky must have been distilled at a single distillery using a pot still distillation process and made from a mash of malted grain.

Several types of grains can be malted (for example, barley, rye and wheat). But in Scotland, the only grain allowed to be used in a single malt whisky is barley.

As with any Scotch whisky, a single malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years and one day.

The age statement on a bottle of single malt Scotch is the number of years the whisky spent maturing in casks.

Don't drink and drive.

Have a great festive season.
