Single malt scotch is whisky made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery in Scotland. It’s aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, though many varieties mature for 10, 12, or even 18 years or more. Each region of Scotland—such as Islay, Speyside, or the Highlands—produces single malts with unique flavors. For example, Islay malts are often smoky and peaty, while Speyside offers fruitier, lighter profiles. Aging, cask type, and water source all influence taste. Enthusiasts appreciate single malt for its craftsmanship and complexity, often sipping it neat or with a splash of water.
