"Whisky is liquid sunshine." - George Bernard Shaw.

SCOTCH WHISKY (often referred to simply as "Scotch") is whisky made in Scotland. Scotch whisky is divided into five distinct categories: Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Single Grain Scotch Whisky, Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (formerly called "vatted malt" or "pure malt"), Blended Grain Scotch Whisky, and Blended Scotch Whisky. All Scotch whisky must be aged in oak barrels for at least three years. Any age statement written on a bottle of Scotch whisky, in the form of a number, must reflect the age of the youngest whisky used to produce that product. A whisky with an age statement is known as guaranteed age whisky.
SINGLE MALT SCOTCH is whisky made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. 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 (most single malts are matured longer).
"Malt" indicates that the whisky is distilled from a single "malted" grain. Several types of grains can be malted (for example, barley, rye and wheat are all grains which can be malted); however, in the case of single malt Scotch, barley is always the (only) grain used.
"Single" indicates that all the malts in the bottle come from a single distillery. Multi-distillery malts are usually called "blended malt", "vatted malt" or "pure malt".

Legendary Eight is an elegant blended scotch set to retail at $350 per bottle when it arrives on American shelves in late fall 2020. The 87.6-proof offering is a tad stronger than its flagship counterpart and is comprised exclusively of liquids sourced from distilleries that existed in 1820. Johnnie Walker is the top-selling brand of blended scotch whisky on the planet. Each year it sells over 223 million bottles across the globe. As opposed to single malt, which comes from a solitary location, blends are a combination of malt and grain whisky derived from many producers. As such, there is no actual Johnnie Walker distillery. It takes its name instead from its original blender who, in 1820, began selling it out of his small grocery store in Kilmarnock, Scotland."

Now, top blended-whisky brand Johnnie Walker has thrown its proverbial tam o'shanter into the ring by releasing its oldest whisky yet, the 50-year-old John Walker Masters’ Edition."

Glenfiddich's latest Grand Series, however, makes a statement that single malt Scotch can in fact elevate certain culinary experiences, just as well as a dram can stand on its own."

To this day, Glenfarclas is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that remains family-owned and run.

While the Moët Hennessy empire was already packed with many award-winning and respected liquids, Glenmorangie felt a tad, well, traditional, in comparison.

 - LAGAVULIN - founded in 1816. Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Lagavulin on the island of Islay. The standard Lagavulin single malt is 16 years old (43%), though they regularly release a 12-year-old cask strength variety, a Distiller's edition finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, and 25- and 30-year-old varieties.
 - Laphroaig - since 1815. Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery. "We've been dividing opinions around the world since 1815, and we asked the Islay locals to share their candid opinions on what Laphroaig tastes like to them. So why not tell us what you think? Go on, be honest, we can take it." The Duke of Rothesay - HRH Prince Charles to non-Scots - enjoys a single malt from time to time. His favourite dram, though, is reputedly Laphroaig 15 Year Old and, in 1994, Prince Charles issued the Islay operation with a Royal Warrant - the first and only distillery so recognised by the Prince of Wales. Laphroaig in turn celebrated by releasing a 10-year-old single malt, aptly named ‘Royal Warrant’.
- Laphroaig CÀirdeas 2022 - " A creamy mouthfeel comes with vanilla sweetness, cold smoke, and iodine. The tropical fruits and grapes recede to the back, where they join in with some aniseed liquorice and medicinal notes. The delivery is satisfying and has a nice progression which makes the whole experience very pleasant. The finish is of medium length and leaves behind layers of cold smoke, vanilla sweetness, and kelp."

 - Palace of Holyroodhouse - "The Palace of Holyroodhouse stands in a spectacular setting at the foot of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, its walled garden surrounded by open parkland. The Palace has been a royal residence for over 500 years, and today is the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland. Bottled in Scotland, this luxury 12 year old single malt Scotch Whisky has been matured in oak barrels to add distinct flavour found in the wood. With a bright gold colour, this whisky delivers lovely notes of barley sugar sweetness, soft honey and rich flavours of chocolate orange, perfectly finished with a touch of spice. This whisky, specially selected for Royal Collection Trust Shop, is an easy drinking Highland single malt, which is a marriage of different malts from the same distillery, but from casks of different aged malts."
- PITTYVAICH - "The Pittyvaich whisky distillery was established in 1975 by Arthur Bell and Sons. It was sited very close to the Dufftown distillery and shared with it not only a place in the Bells blend but also the water source, the springs at Bailliemore and Convalleys. Pittyvaich lay in the Dullan Glen in Banffshire before being demolished in 2003, having been closed for a decade. The distillery was the last to be built in Dufftown and was near the Mortlach Parish Church."
