Single Malt Whisky is a type of whisky 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 whisky 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 characteristics, contributing to the diverse range of single malt whiskies available.
