Frequently asked questions about whisky

  • What is whisky?

    Whisky is a spirit obtained by distilling a grain mash, which must contain a proportion of malted grain. The whisky distilling process can take place in pot stills or columns. The resulting distillate (new make) is subjected to a maturation process in wooden barrels containing a maximum of 700 litres for a minimum of three years. Neither neutral alcohol nor flavors may be added to whisky. The only additive permitted is sugar syrup (food-grade caramel) to adjust the colour.

    N.B.: Some different legal regulations apply for whisky supplied in bulk outside of Europe.

  • What is Scotch whisky?

    Scotch whisky, often simply referred to as Scotch, is a type of whisky that originates from Scotland. It is renowned worldwide for its rich history, distinctive flavors, and meticulous production process. To be classified as Scotch whisky, several criteria must be met:
    What is the minimum order quantity for bulk whisky purchases?

    • Origin: Scotch whisky must be produced in Scotland. The geographical location plays a significant role in the character and quality of the whisky.
    • Ingredients: Scotch whisky is made from grain, water, and yeast. Malt Scotch whisky is produced from malted barley. Other grains, such as wheat, corn or rye, may also be used in certain types of Scotch whisky, such as Grain Scotch whisky.
    • Maturation: After distillation, Scotch whisky must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years.
    • No additives: Scotch whisky must not contain any additives other than water and caramel coloring.

    Scotch whisky is known for its diverse range of styles, including single malt, single grain, blended malt, blended grain, and blended Scotch whisky. Each style offers a distinct taste profile, ranging from smoky and peaty to sweet and fruity, reflecting the craftsmanship and expertise of Scottish distillers.

  • Where does whisky come from?

    Whisky is produced worldwide and is increasingly popular. Whisky is a traditional part of the cultural heritage in Scotland, Ireland and some US Federal states (Kentucky, Tennessee).

    A distillate of alcohol is mentioned for the first time in the Scottish Exchequer Rolls of 1494. Nowadays whisky is produced in more than 100 distilleries spread across five Scottish regions (Highlands, Speyside, Lowlands, Islay and Campbeltown). Whilst grain whisky is distilled in large columns using the continuous method, the production method specifies pot stills to give malt Scotch whisky its character. This process subjects a malted barley mash to a double distillation.

    Bourbon whisky (or whiskey) is produced exclusively in the USA. The mash must contain at least 51% corn and the maturation process must take place in new, previously unused barrels.

  • What are the differences between grain whisky and malt whisky?

    Grain whisky is made from mainly unmalted grain, while malt whisky is produced exclusively from 100% malted grain. While in Scotland malt whisky may only be produced from barley, other origins allow the usage of other types of malted grains.
    Grain whisky is often lighter and milder in flavor compared to malt whisky. It may exhibit notes of vanilla, caramel, and fruitiness, with a smooth and approachable character. Malt whisky is prized for its depth of flavor and complexity. It can range from light and floral to rich and peaty, with a wide spectrum of aromas and tastes including honey, spices, dried fruits, and smoke.
    As a result, grain whisky is frequently used in blending, whereas malt whisky is often preferred as a standalone drink.
