Malt whisky
Malt whisky is a type of whisky made primarily from malted barley. It is distilled in pot stills, often in Scotland, and aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of three years, which develops its complex flavors. Malt whisky is known for its rich, nuanced profile, often featuring notes of fruit, spice, and oak. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Unlike blended whisky, which combines different grain spirits, malt whisky emphasizes quality and character derived from the fermentation, distillation, and aging process of a single malt source.
