A true single malt whiskey is a brew that is distilled in one place. There
is no inclusion of any other blends of grain whiskey in this product. A
single cask whiskey has been in one cask and not transferred to accommodate
other blends. This whiskey, when full strength, can exceed sixty percent
alcohol by volume.
Most single malts are bottled at between forty and forty-six percent
as the legal limit is set at a minimum of forty percent.
Cask strength is a term used when the alcohol level is still relatively
high and the brew has not been watered down, or if it has been, the addition
of water was low. Cask strength is not always merely one cask it can be
from several casks inclusively.
Given that there is approximately six to nine different regions in Scotland
that actually have proven distilleries, the characteristics of the malt
can vary considerably. They all have their own unique techniques and style
to producing their malts and each produce a flavor all their own.
