Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between single malt and blended Scotch?

Single malt Scotch is made at one distillery, using only malted barley, distilled in copper pot stills. Blended Scotch combines one or more single malts with one or more single grain whiskies (grain whisky is typically distilled from wheat or corn in a continuous column still) from different distilleries, mixed for a consistent house style. Neither is inherently "better" — single malts showcase one distillery's character, while blends are built for balance and approachability.

What does the age statement on a bottle of Scotch actually mean?

By law, the age on a Scotch label reflects the youngest whisky used — so a 12-year bottle may contain older whisky blended in, but nothing younger than 12 years. Many Scotches today carry no age statement (NAS) at all, using a mix of ages chosen for flavor rather than a minimum-age guarantee. An age statement is a floor, not a full picture of what's in the bottle.

What's the difference between peated and unpeated Scotch?

Peated Scotch is made from barley dried over smoldering peat during malting, which imparts smoky, medicinal, sometimes iodine-like notes — most associated with Islay whiskies. Unpeated Scotch uses hot air instead of peat smoke to dry the barley, resulting in a cleaner profile that lets fruit, honey, and cask character come through, more typical of Speyside distilleries.

What's the difference between Islay and Speyside Scotch?

Islay is a small coastal island known for bold, peaty, maritime whiskies (think Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Lagavulin) — smoky and briny, shaped by the island's peat bogs and sea air. Speyside is the region with the largest concentration of distilleries in Scotland (including Glenfiddich and The Macallan), generally producing lighter, sweeter, fruitier, honeyed whiskies with far less peat influence. They represent two ends of the flavor spectrum within single malt Scotch.
