Definition
Scotch whiskey is a whisky made in Scotland. It's known for its diverse flavors, ranging from smoky and peaty to fruity and floral. There are two main types: single malt (made from malted barley at one distillery) and blended (a mixture of different single malts and grain whiskeys). Think of it like a classic rock album – each track has its unique character. Scotch often has a distinctive smoky note due to the use of peat in drying the barley. It’s enjoyed worldwide, often neat or with a splash of water.
