How many Scotch whisky regions are there?
How many Scotch whisky regions are there?
Scotland has five official whisky regions: Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown. Each one has its own unique vibe, from the light, floral whiskies of the Lowlands to the bold, smoky flavors of Islay.
What makes Islay Scotch so distinctive?
What makes Islay Scotch so distinctive?
Islay Scotch whiskies are famous for their bold, smoky, and slightly salty flavors, often with a hint of the sea. The island’s close connection to the ocean and the use of peat during malting give these whiskies their strong and distinctive character.
What’s the difference between single malt and blended Scotch?
What’s the difference between single malt and blended Scotch?
Single malt Scotch is made entirely from malted barley at one distillery, while blended Scotch mixes malt whisky and grain whisky from various distilleries. The result? A smoother, more approachable flavor that appeals to a wider crowd.
