Highlands, Scotland - This liquid packs a serious punch, as notes of apples, cinnamon, orange blossom and Marcona almonds lead to a complex palate of smoky overtones, spiced oak and high-toned citrus. A soft, lingering finish with an uppercut of peat will bring you to Scotch nirvana.
Scotch, quite simply, is whisky made and aged at least three years in Scotland. All whisky made in Scotland is Scotch, and must follow specific production regulations.
All Scotch varieties fall within two broad categories or are blends of these two: malt whisky and grain whisky. Malt whisky must be 100 percent malted barley. Grain whisky may include wheat, rye, corn or other grains.
