| | Malt liquor - encyclopedia article about Malt liquor. |
 | | The phrase "malt liquor" has been used in the United States to refer to any alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grain and water; in these states a non-alcoholic beer Non-alcoholic beer (NAB) is a slightly misleading term used to describe beer with very low alcohol content. | | | Before the introduction of hops into England from the Netherlands in the 15th century the name "ale" was exclusively applied to unhopped fermented beverages, the term "beer" being gradually introduced to describe a brew with an infusion of hops. | | | There are three malt liquor beers brewed under the name: |

| | Just for sipping |
| | Single malt Scotch, in the baldest and most unromantic of terms, is made by boiling malted barley in water, then fermenting the liquid wort, distilling twice, and aging the resulting spirit in small oak barrels (usually American oak) for five to 20 or more years. | | | In order to be called “single malt,” all of the whisky in the bottle must come from one distillery, and the whisky must be made from malted barley and no other grain or sugar, and matured for at least three years. | | | Nown’s Malt Whisky quotes several Scottish chefs on pairing food and single malts, and on using a splash of single malt as flavoring when cooking. |

| | The single malt is aged in bourbon barrels; the sherry barrels are used for the blends. | | | The full-bodied palate is rich with sherry, malt, spice and peat flavors with a nutty finish. | | | Floor maltings were reintroduced to Springbank less than three years ago, and they are one of the few distilleries that floor malt their own barley and dry it in their own kiln. |

| | The Single Malts |
| | Each bottle consists of whisky from just a single year’s distillation and carries the date of distillation and the year of bottling on its label. | | | This unique Single Malt Whisky is distilled and bottled in the Speyside region of Scotland. | | | Many barrels of malt whisky are made at The Glenrothes distillery, but only a trickle will ultimately be poured into the barrel-shaped bottles of The Glenrothes Single Speyside Malt Whisky. |

| | The malting process also differs between Irish and Scotch, as Irish Whiskey uses sprouted barley dried in a closed kiln that is then mixed with unmalted barley before being ground into a grist. | | | As is the case with other whiskies, the malted barley is then mixed with warm water to produce a mash which is then fermented with the addition of yeast and distilled. | | | Scotland is traditionally divided into five regions for the classification of single malts; to a greater or lesser degree, the whiskies in a given region may have similar characteristics. |

| | Single Malts |
| | Malt aficionados seem to have a repertoire of brands, maybe three or four that they stick with. | | | But beyond this sweetness, there's considerable complexity one looks for in a serious malt, in this case, cloves, ginger, honey, toffee, dried fruits, oranges, almonds, pears, heather, and, of course, light undertones of sherry cask. | | | Macallan is not one of the heavier, big smoke, peaty malts, however, and admittedly there are a number of scotch drinkers who only drink peaty whiskies. |

| | Enter the spirit world: The easy iVillage guide to Scottish single malts |
| | Like the greatest wine or the finest brandy, the reason single malts are so exceptional and complicated is because they reflect the land they're from. | | | A bottle of single malt can cost anywhere between £10 and £60 for a 70cl bottle, with most of the famous brands costing around £20. | | | While this is a lot to pay for one bottle, remember that whisky is 40 per cent proof, so you won't be drinking it like wine or beer. |

| | If a bottle has a name on it that is the name of a present or past distillery, then that bottle must contain a single malt from that distillery. | | | The Cardhu thread is certainly on the up 'and' taking in pizza cheese and now appellation - which boils down to traceability. | | | What we are discussing is hiding a vatted malt behind the descriptor 'pure' and dress it as a look a like single (like faking say an Algerian wine as an Appellation Controllee Grand Cru 1855 definition) which is permissible according to SWA's standpoint for the time being. |

| | For lovers of single malt Scotch whiskies, this is a dram good time to be alive, a veritable golden age of plenty where tavern shelves groan under an ever-expanding selection of bottles. | | | The range of single cask whiskies from independent bottlers is increasing constantly, and the big distilleries, having woken up to the commercial potential of the liquid gold lying heretofore unappreciated in their cellars, have begun offering an expanding range of limited production, special-edition bottlings of their own. | | | It's a fair thing to say that no single malts taste the same, and many connoisseurs will swear by their particular brand. |
