What is Single Malt Whisky?

In the simplest terms, whisky is a spirit made from distilling fermented mash from grains. In single malts, that’s usually barley, but when talking about all whisky, it can be corn, rye, wheat, and various other grains. Importantly, there are distinctions that separate some drams from others and these can often be attributed to geographical constraints. Read More

Scotch Rules

For single malt whisky in Scotland, the rules around production begin even more strict. In this region, where whisky is seen as a birthright rather than a tasty beverage, a single malt must be produced with 100% malted barley at only one distillery. As a result of the strict requirements of the production process, the Scotch Whisky Association has confirmed that there are only five recognised whisky producing regions defined in the Scotch Whisky Regulations, each protected in law by UK legislation – the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009. These include Speyside, Islay, Highlands, Lowlands and Campbeltown. Read More
