Single malt Scotch whisky is made from malted barley in one distillery using pot stills. It is distilled and matured in Scotland, typically in oak barrels, for a minimum of three years. The term “single malt” comes from the whisky being produced at a single distillery and from malted grain.

Blended Scotch whisky, on the other hand, is made by combining several single malt whiskies with grain whiskies. These grain whiskies are cheaper to produce and are often used to create a more consistent, smooth blend. Blended Scotch can come from multiple distilleries and typically aims to maintain a brand-specific flavor profile regardless of batch.

In summary, the key difference lies in the composition: single malts are produced from malted barley at a single distillery, while blended Scotch combines multiple malt and grain whiskies from various distilleries.

Store single malt Scotch in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle upright to prevent the cork from deteriorating. Ensure the seal is tight to avoid oxidation. Maintain a consistent temperature, ideally between 15-20°C.

Single malt Scotch is best enjoyed in various ways to suit individual tastes. Neat, at room temperature, is a popular choice to appreciate its full flavor without dilution. Adding a few drops of water can enhance the aroma and taste by releasing volatile compounds. For those who prefer a chilled drink, serving it on the rocks is an option, though it may mute some flavors. Scotch tastings or flights allow enthusiasts to explore different distilleries and ages. Pairing with food, especially dark chocolate, cheese, or smoked meats, can also complement and elevate the distinct characteristics of single malt Scotch.
