Single Malts Craft

A single malt Scotch whisky is a whisky that’s produced in batches from only water, malted barley and yeast at a single distillery using copper pot stills.

To be called a Single Malt Scotch Whisky it needs to be made of 100% malted barley, be from just one single distillery and not blended with any other product from elsewhere.
