Single Malt Scotch is single malt whisky made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. As with any Scotch whisky, a single malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years. ⁕"Malt" indicates that the whisky is distilled from a "malted" grain. Several types of grains can be malted; however, in the case of single malt Scotch, barley is always the only grain used. ⁕"Single" indicates that all the malts in the bottle come from a single distillery. Bottlings containing malt whisky from multiple distilleries are called "blended malt". Until the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, the word "blended" only appeared on bottles of whisky that contained a mixture of both barley and non-barley grain whisky, but this is no longer the case. Under the terminology established by the SWR 2009, a "blended malt Scotch whisky" is a mixture of single malt Scotch whiskies, not a mixture of malted barley whisky and non-barley whisky; those are called "blended Scotch whisky", without the word "malt". The term "blended malt" replaced "vatted malt" used under the prior labelling conventions. Wikipedia [ - ]
