Scotch is undoubtedly one of the most popular alcoholic drinks. However, it is said that a whisky must have been made in Scotland to deserve the name Scotch, because the country gives whisky its soul.

Scotch whisky is one of the finest types of whisky, which is what makes Scotch so sought after. Scotland has so many natural resources, from its marshlands to its cornfields, making it the perfect place to brew this flavoursome spirit.


The fine art of distilling schnapps has been passed down through the generations for centuries. Each generation added to the knowledge and refinement techniques so that the maturing and distilling of the fine malt could become what it is today. Today there are two types of whisky in Scotland, the plain grain version and the blended version.

In the past, there was only the single malt variety, but now malt whiskey is made from different types of grain and blended to create the final product.
The malt is bottled in select quantities. This is called single malt whisky. Some of the most famous blends are blended with what is known as 'grain whisky'.

Distilleries are at the heart of the Scottish landscape and utilise the ingredients of the land. Some distilleries grow their own grain to control the quality of the product. Others have established reputable suppliers to produce the finest alcohol in the world.

Natural wells and rivers are usually used in the distilling process. The Skye River flows through the region, which is known as the malt capital of Scotland.

There are bottles from Islay in the south of Scotland that have sold for up to €7000. A select liquor shop in Rhode Island placed this product on the shelves and sold 20 bottles within 24 hours. This is the ultimate proof of the exquisite quality with which the company advertises its product.
