But there are other rules when it comes to making it, such as using malted barley from a single distillery and aging it in oak barrels for at least three years. Sticklers for rules, those Scotch. And our drams are all the better for it.

The Excise Act of 1823 made many significant changes to the way the industry was taxed and regulated.
