What Is Single Malt Whisky?

Single Malt Whisky refers to whisky distilled at a single distillery from malted barley, offering a variety of flavour profiles depending on the region and production techniques.

The Characteristics of Single Malt Whisky

• Flavour Profile: Single Malt Whisky typically exhibits flavours ranging from rich fruit and spice to floral and smoky notes, depending on the distillery's location and methods.
• Aging Potential: High-quality Single Malt Whisky can age beautifully, developing more complex flavours and aromas over time.
• Alcohol Content: Most Single Malts are bottled at an ABV ranging from 40% to 46%, with some cask-strength versions reaching higher levels.

How Single Malt Whisky Is Made

• Malting: Barley is soaked in water to begin germination, then dried to halt the process, converting starches into fermentable sugars.
• Distillation: The wash is distilled in pot stills, often twice, to concentrate the flavours and alcohol content.
• Aging: The spirit is aged in oak casks, which impart distinct flavours and influence the whisky’s character.
