WHISKY & SCOTCH TYPES EXPLAINED
What's the difference between a Single Malt Scotch Whisky and a Blended Scotch Whisky? Or between a whisky, a whisky, a bourbon, a Tennessee whisky and a rye? Let’s start by what they have in common. In its widest definition, whisky is a drink distilled from the fermentation of malt – that’s any grain that has been allowed to germinate, particularly barley or rye, then dried.
