| | An Introduction To Single Malt Whisky |
| | alt whisky is basically a distilled, un-hopped beer. | | | The term whisky is a derivative of the expression "water of life" known in in Gaelic as "uisge (pronounced ooska) beatha." Over time uisge has been Anglicised to "whisky." The first whiskies were produced in the 15th century by monastic orders. | | | A whisky that is labelled generically "scotch" is blended and contains only 40 to 60% malt whisky with the remainder comprised of whisky made from cheaper unmalted grain. |

| | Scotch Single Malt Whisky Distilleries of Islay |
| | In many cases distilleries are now selling whisky with legal provisions that it not be bottled as a single malt, or not be bottled under the distillery name. | | | With the current enthusiasm for single malts, many blenders have found there is more money to be made by bottling the individual whiskies rather than blending them. | | | No matter who bottles the whisky, or at what age, there is a consistent Caol Ila flavor: "big, dry, salt, and smoke". |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Review Review: Raw Spirit by Iain Banks |
| | The way whisky tastes is very much a function of where it is made, the water used and the fuel for the heat during the malting process. | | | It seems disputable, to say the least, that the best way to taste malt whisky is to sit in the visitor centre of the place where it's made and have a glass at the end of the tour. | | | But you don't have to be drunk, or Scottish, to be wary of a book inspired by alcohol, particularly a variety as complex and individual as malt whisky. |

| | Malt Madness - by Johannes van den Heuvel (All about single malt scotch whisky, not whiskey) |
| | I usually tend to prefer overproof malts to those bottled at a whimpier 40 or 43%, but in this case the bottling with the lower ABV provides the depth and complexity that attracted me to single malts in the first place. | | | Malt Madness by Johannes van den Heuvel - Mad about single malt Scotch whisky (not whiskey) | | | Four different rums, a mere 250 six bottle cases of each, bottled with out colouring or chill filtration are the first rums ever to be bottled on the whisky isle of Islay using the island's legendary spring water. |

| | AskMen.com - Single malt Scotch whisky |
| | Unlike blended Scotch whisky, there is genuine delineation between single malts of one region of Scotland and another, which in fact is the fun part of being an aficionado, as you "taste the geography" of the spirit. | | | These methods can range from the type of barley, water or yeast they use, whether the casks are made of Madeira or Sherry aloroso wood, and even whether to add a layer of peat (or "peat reek") to the barley. | | | Like fine wine, single malt Scotch does improve with age although many do plateau at the quarter-century mark. |

| | They agreed that the subtle aromas of the whisky were lost in a traditional tumbler; brandy balloons emphasised the alcohol at the expense of finesse; and the copita tended to magnify the oak components to such an extent that the whisky began to take on cognac-like characteristics. | | | The Riedel glass emerged as the clear winner, bringing forward the pure malt character of all the whiskies tasted by concentrating their aromas and accentuating their softness, roundness and silkiness. | | | And so, in early 1992, a panel of single malt experts was convened at Riedelâs headquarters in Austria to test a range of different glasses. |
