When exploring the world of whisky, two terms frequently come up: single malt and blended whisky. While both offer rich and complex flavors, they represent different approaches to whisky making.
Single malt whisky is crafted from 100% malted barley and produced at a single distillery. The essence of single malt lies in its purity and origin. Each distillery imparts its unique characteristics to the whisky, influenced by factors such as water source, local climate, and distillation methods. This results in a wide range of flavors and profiles, from peaty and smoky to fruity and spicy.
Blended whisky, on the other hand, combines malt whiskies from different distilleries with grain whiskies. Grain whisky can be made from any grain, including unmalted barley, wheat, corn, and rye. The goal is to achieve a balanced and consistent flavor profile, often designed for broad appeal.
Choosing between single malt and blended whisky comes down to personal preference and what you seek in a whisky experience. At Drinks4Less, we offer a curated selection of both single malt and blended whiskies, ensuring you’ll find the perfect bottle to suit your taste. Cheers!
