Scotch Whiskies
Don't drink and drive!
Many countries produce whisky, but Scotch Whisky can only be made in Scotland. By law, Scotch Whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of three years in oak casks and made from just three natural ingredients: water, cereals, and yeast.
Scotland is home to over 150 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest concentration of whisky production in the world.
The majority of Scotch Whisky is consumed as Blended Scotch Whisky. This means that as many as 60 different Single Malt and Single Grain Whiskies are blended together to ensure consistent quality and flavour.
Malt whisky is classified into five main regions: Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown. Geography and climate strongly influence the character of the whisky produced in each region.
