Scotch

Scotch, or Scotch whisky, is a type of whisky made in Scotland, primarily from malted barley or grains. It must be distilled and aged in oak barrels within Scotland for at least three years. The process involves fermentation, distillation, and aging, which develop its complex flavors. Scotch can be single malt (from one distillery, made from malted barley) or blended (a mix of malt and grain whiskies). Its taste varies based on region and production methods, often featuring notes of smoky, fruity, or malty flavors. Scotch is appreciated globally for its craftsmanship, heritage, and rich, nuanced profile.
