Made in Scotland. The two types are malt and grain. Malt scotch is made from malted barley and double distilled in a pot still. Single malts are in this category. Grain scotch is made from barley and maize and distilled in a continuous still. Blended scotch is in this category. Blended scotch is best for cocktails. Serve single malts neat or with an eyedropper of pure water.
