Die höchste Ansammlung an Brennereien bzw. Destillerien gibt es zweifelsfrei in Schottland (ca. 130 Stück). Nicht zuletzt daher, weil Schottland die höchsten Qualitätsansprüche an die Herstellung des Whiskys, allen voran dem Single MaltSingle Malt Whisky, oder in der Kurzform oft nur Single Malt genannt, ist ein Whisky, der genau aus einer Brennerei stammen darf und bei der Herstellung nur die folgenden Zutaten enthalten darf:
• Malz (ausschließlich aus Gerste hergestellt)
• Wasser
• Hefe
Das Wort Single bedeutet eben, dass der Whisky nur aus einer Brennerei stammen darf. Im Gegensatz dazu gibt es den Blended Malt. Dieser ist aus mehreren Single Malt Whiskys hergestellt bzw. vermischt worden., stellt. Dies ist auch gesetzlich verankert, um dies langfristig garantieren zu können.
