Frequently Asked Questions about Whisky

There's hundreds of years of innovation, craftsmanship and tradition in every bottle, so here's a little help on what makes Whisky great.

The history of Whisky

Scotch whisky’s history dates back to the 15th century, first mentioned in 1494. Crafted through generations, this authentic spirit reflects Scotland’s rich heritage. Each Scottish region adds unique flavours: Islay’s peaty malts and Speyside’s fruity expressions. The meticulous production process, involving water, malted barley, and aged oak barrels, imparts Scotch whisky’s distinct character. Exclusively distilled in Scotland, Scotch whisky stands out for its craftsmanship and tradition. This celebrated spirit offers enthusiasts a sensory journey through Scotland’s diverse landscapes. Discover the unique taste and heritage of Scotch whisky, a symbol of whisky excellence worldwide.

Going back to the first whisky drinkers in Ireland and Scotland, where whisky has its roots, whisky was made in order to utilise excess barley from the harvest and was seen as a source of warmth and comfort, particularly in the winter. It was typically served in a quaich, a shallow, two handled drinking cup, symbolising friendship and trust, and enjoyed at small social gatherings.

In the 21st century, whisky’s popularity has experienced a significant resurgence. There’s a growing appreciation for premium whiskies, with an expanding consumer base in regions like Asia.  There’s been an increase globally in new whisky-making regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and Scandinavia, and the huge investment and expansion of existing Scotch whisky distilleries highlights whisky’s increasing appeal.

How best to enjoy whisky?

Whisky can be enjoyed in numerous ways, and there's no right or wrong method— we believe it's all about personal preference! Some prefer it neat, appreciating the full depth of flavour, while others might add a splash of water to mellow the taste. Serving whisky over ice, known as "on the rocks," is a popular choice to gradually chill and dilute the spirit. For a refreshing twist, consider whisky cocktails like the classic Old Fashioned or a Whisky Sour.

Ultimately, the best way to serve whisky is the way you enjoy it most!

How is whisky made?

All Scotch whisky is divided into five categories. These are:

  • Single malt whisky
  • Single grain whisky
  • Blended whisky
  • Blended malt whisky
  • Blended grain whisky

No matter which category the whisky comes from, all are subject to strict regulations under UK law which is meticulously overseen by the trade body for Scotch whisky, the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA).

Scotch whisky must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for a minimum of three years and one day and be bottled at a minimum of 40% ABV.

Scotch malt whisky is made from water, yeast, and malted barley. The process begins with barley, typically grown in the eastern UK. The barley is steeped, germinated, and kilned, often using peat for a smoky flavour. The malted barley is milled into grist, mixed with hot water in a mash tun, and fermented with yeast to produce wash. This wash undergoes two distillations in copper pot stills. The resulting spirit matures in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years and one day, developing its unique flavour and aroma.

Probably the best-known of all of the Scotch whiskies, single malt whisky is made from 100% malted barley in copper stills and is the product of just one single distillery.
