Scotch from Islandss in 2023 » Premium Bottles by Flaviar

Whiskies from the Islands are tempered by saline shores, brewing storms and the purply peated moors. But when it comes to flavors, shapeshifting is an island game. Between them, Arran, Mull, Jura, Skye and Orkney champion brine, oil, black pepper, heather and honey.

Though most Island Whiskies are salted by the sea and you can find plenty of challenging drams full of maritime notes here, some are sweet and herbal; Talisker’s potent malt hails from the largest distillery of all the islands, whilst Tobermory offers fruity relief and Jura a delectable nutty, oily, middle-ground.

Whiskey Secrets: You Should Be Drinking Younger (and Cheaper) Scotch

How old is Scotch?

By law, Scotch Whisky must be matured in a cask for at least 3 years. However, when a bottle states an age, such as ’21 year old’, that means the Scotch is at least this old. NAS, or no age statement Scotch, won’t say how old it is, but it will still be at least 3 years old. Otherwise it just ain’t Scotch.

Is Scotch gluten free?

Even though Scotch is derived from barley, a gluten grain, the distillation process which makes Scotch an alcohol removes most of these gluten proteins. Understandably, that isn’t all that reassuring when the worst that can happen is that you need to seek medical attention.

What is Blended Whisky?

There are three types of Blended Whisky. 1) Blended Malt (malt Whisky from multiple distilleries), 2) Blended Grain (grain Whisky from multiple distilleries) and 3) Blended Whisky (a blend of malt and grain Whiskies)
