THE SCOTCH WHISKYREGULATIONS

Single Grain Scotch Whisky can only be made with natural ingredients:

wheat (sometimes rye or maize), malted barley, water and yeast

sNo additives are allowed during the distillation process

sABV must be less than 94.8% – clearly differentiating it from

highly-rectified ‘neutral grain spirit’s

Finally, the whisky must be matured in oak casks in Scotland

for a minimum of three yearss

Single Grain Scotch Whisky has the nose, flavour and character of whisky, though in a less pronounced way than

some more robust single malts

Page 13: Blinder Truth about Aging Whiskey- Presentation

“It is an acquired taste for a man to drink Islay pure, or Campbeltown pure, or Glenlivet pure; but by mixing those whiskies in certain proportions you make them much more

palatable and pleasant, and produce a better article.

…If you unite different characters of whisky, if you make a blend of say five fine malt whiskies, without grain, unless

they have been blended for a very long time together, you can almost detect the different distilleries they came from…

[But] If you put in a very small quantity of grain into your blend you at

once marry them, and you cannot detect the difference in the slightest…”

JAMES GREENLEES, 1891

Grain whisky was at the centre of the ‘what is whisky’ debate of 1908-09

THE EMERGENCE OF AGE STATEMENTSNICK

Page 33: Blinder Truth about Aging Whiskey- Presentation

Anyone who doubts the age of Mackie’s White Horse Whisky is requested to take a dram …

Page 34: Blinder Truth about Aging Whiskey- Presentation
