Whisky from Scotland Single Malt

A single malt whisky must meet two conditions: It must come from only one distillery (no blending of different distillates from different distilleries) and only malted barley may be used as the grain base (malting 'malt'). Single Malt Whiskies usually have a long ageing period (a decade or more) and are of particularly high quality.  

A Scottish Single Malt may only be produced in Scottish distilleries and stored there in wooden barrels for at least three years and one day. It must also have an alcohol content of at least 40%. Although the barley used for production has little influence on the taste and character of a whisky (it is rather the production and storage), many Scottish distilleries indicate that they only use Scottish barley. The brewing water used for production usually comes from the immediate vicinity of the distillery.    

A good Scotch Single Malt Whisky is a traditional and exclusive drink, which delights whisky connoisseurs all over the world. It offers an unbelievable variety of aromas and flavours, which make us immediately think of the famous Scottish landscapes with castles and palaces.
