When selecting the right spirits for the Welcome Box, Scotch Whisky came as an obvious choice. It offers the most diverse tasting experience to the king of spirits. And because most people drink some blended-schmoo we thought Scotch Whisky with its terroir diversity to be a flavour-tastic starting point of your adventure.

Let’s clarify a few facts:

First, single malt is made from malted barley only. No corn, no grain.

Second, first-class Whisky is taxed not only by the state but also by the angels.

Third, outstanding Whisky can be found in some surprising places, everywhere from India to Switzerland.

Here you have 3 Whiskies from 3 different regions of Scotland: Lowland, Highland and Islay - so you can experience different styles and appreciate the diversity.

Welcome to your flavour journey!

Trivia & SmartAss Corner:

The Five(ish) Single Malt Regions of Scotland are divided into the following five regions:

- Speyside - has the largest number of distilleries

- Highlands - effectively, all the areas surrounding the Speyside region & The Islands, an unrecognised sub-region

- Lowlands - located south of the imaginary line between Glasgow & Edinburgh

- Islay - a small, rugged island off the west coast of the mainland

2) The "Angels’ share" or "Angels’ tax" refers to the Whisky that evaporates from the barrels. In Scotland, angels take around 2% a year.

3) Simplified, Whisky is basically a beer without the hops that has been distilled two or three times.

4) Got milk? Farmers often pick up grain waste from distilleries and give this nutrient-rich feed to their livestock. The feed helps the cows produce more milk.

5) Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).

6) Scotch Whisky is never aged in new barrels. Pot Still Distillation Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation, while many times ageing process and flavour finishing is concluded in various wine casks such as sherry or port.

7) Whisky lasts forever, supposedly. A sealed bottle of Whisky will last unopened for a century, if not longer. An opened bottle should not change its taste drastically for at least five years, but it depends on how half-full / half-empty the bottle is.

8) The Excise Act of 1823 made many significant changes to the way the industry was taxed and regulated. It laid the foundations for the whole modern Whisky industry, resulting in the rapid demise of illicit distilling and an equally rapid growth in the number of legal distilleries in the following years.

9) “Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good Whisky is barely enough.” - Mark Twain.
