Single Malt Whiskey is a type of whiskey made from malted barley and produced at a single distillery. It must be distilled in pot stills and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. The term "single" indicates that it comes from one distillery, while "malt" refers to the use of malted barley as the primary grain. This whiskey is known for its rich flavors and aromas, which can vary significantly based on the region of production, such as Scotland or Ireland. Each distillery has its unique methods and ingredients, contributing to the distinct character of its single malt offerings.
