First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Ironically, the most expensive bottle of Whisky ever sold by Diageo was a Brora. In 2014, one of the last casks from Brora's original style production was bottled after aging for 40 years. This 40YO Brora single malt sold for a retail price of £6,995.99, or more than $11,000.00 US.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.

Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
