Long revered as home to numerous distilleries and a number of distinct regional
whisky styles (note the lack of an e in whisky when referring to Scotch),
Scotland boasts of a world-class and well established heritage of whisky distilling.
Scotch whiskies themselves are divided into three types. Single Malt Scotch
Whiskies are produced from 100% malted barley and are the product of a single
distillery. |

Blended Scotch Whisky involves the addition of malt whiskies to grain whiskies
(typically made with maize or corn), and today's Master Blenders skillfully
marry as many as 30 constituent malt whiskies with grain whiskies to produce
flavorful and balanced blends. Somewhere between lies vatted, or pure malt whiskies,
which are a mixture of malt whiskies alone, without any grain whisky added.
