Single Grain Whiskey


The “Single Grain Whisky” is made in continuous column stills and has a lighter flavor. To be labeled “Single Grain Whiskey” must be produced only in Scotland, matured three years minimum in oak casks and must have a minimum alcohol content of 40% ABV (alcohol by volume).

→ Malt and Grain whiskey can be bottle as single grain or blended

→ The prefix “Single” refers that it was processed in just one (single) distillery and the suffix “Grain” indicates that grains other than just malted barley are used.

→ Single Grains are made from cereal grains (wheat, corn, maize, rye)

→ Single Malt = single distillery from malted barley

→ Barley malt is barley that has germinated and has been dried and toasted in a process that is often called malting.
