Single Malt

A Quick Refresher on Scotch, Whisky, and Bourbon

For a brief refresher, what’s the difference between scotch, whisky, and bourbon? To start with, they’re all whiskys. Scotch is a whisky made in Scotland (note that it’s “whisky” without the “e” you find in American whiskeys). It’s made mostly of malted barley.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey made in the USA, usually Kentucky. It’s distilled mostly from corn. To be considered a bourbon, its mash (mixture of grains) has to be at least 51% corn. The rest comes from barley, rye, or wheat.

Why “Single Malt?”

Making the choice to buy single malt scotch online is an excellent one. Single malt scotches and whiskys, as opposed to blended ones, are made from malted barley and distilled in small batches. They’re a more handcrafted product that impart the greatest variety of base whisky flavors. Buying single malt whisky online means a higher quality, more well-rounded drink.
