Scotch whisky

Single malt

• malted barley only, pot stills and one distillery.
• Single means neither a single cask nor a single year.

Blended Scotch

• a blend of malt whisky and grain whisky.
• Blended malt: only single malts from several distilleries.
• Single grain comes from one distillery but not necessarily one grain.

The stated age refers to the youngest whisky in the blend; no age statement does not remove the three-year minimum.
