Whats the difference between a single-malt whisky and a blended whisky?
Essentially, single malt is whisky that has been distilled at a single distillery, while blended malt whisky has been distilled at more than one distillery. Tasters often prize the single malt because it uniquely reflects the taste of the environment –the local water, the shape of the stills at the distillery, and the local climate –where it was produced.
