    O thou, my Muse! Guid auld Scotch drink, Whether through wimplin' worms thou jink, Or, richly brown, ream o'er the brink, In glorious faem, Inspire me, till I lisp and wink, To sing thy name! Robert Burns - Scotch Drink (1785) Whisky The name derives from the Gaelic "usquebaugh", meaning "Water of Life". This was phonetically transformed first into "usky", then "whisky-bar" and eventually Whisky. Scotland has internationally protected the term "Scotch". For a whisky to be labelled Scotch it has to be both produced and matured in Scotland. The maturation must take place in oak casks for a period of at least 3 years and one day and it may not be bottled if it is less than 40% alcohol by volume. Legend has it that St Patrick introduced distilling to Ireland in the fifth century AD and that the secrets travelled with the Dalriadic Scots when they arrived in Kintyre around AD500. St Patrick probably acquired the knowledge in Spain and France, countries that might have known the art of distilling at that time. Types of whisky There are two main categories of whisky – single and blended. Single means that all of the product is from a single distillery, while blended means that the product is composed of whiskies from two or more distilleries. Traditional practices define five types: Single malt whisky is 100% malted barley whisky from one distillery, distilled in batches in pot stills. Single grain whisky is distilled at a single distillery from water and malted barley, with or without whole grains of other cereals and must not meet the requirements of a single malt whisky.

    Malt Whisky - an Introduction to the Spirit of Scotland

    MALT WHISKY - AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPIRIT OF SCOTLAND Peter M. Dryburgh University of Edinburgh, The King’s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JL, Scotland, U.K. Abstract The historical connection between malt, grain and blended whisky is used to introduce the making of malt whisky and outline the preparation of malt from barley, the processes of fermentation and distillation and the maturation of the strong spirit in oak casks. The geographical basis for the classification of malt whiskies is mentioned. Ten whiskies, ranging from the lightly flavoured Bladnoch to the heavily peated and phenolic Ardbeg, are discussed in terms of their individual characteristics and the distilleries which produced them. INTRODUCTION An article on malt whisky might seem out of place in a publication devoted to a summer school on high energy physics but the malt whisky tasting held on 25th August at St. Andrews, although essentially a social event, was the occasion for some serious study of this fascinating subject and seemed to be enjoyed by all participants. The purpose of this article is to expand on the brief notes which were issued at the event. Blended whisky has satisfied the world’s demand for Scotch whisky since the turn of the century. Despite the overwhelming emphasis given to blended whisky, and its consequent impact 29/Aug/2000 upon world markets, there have always been people to whom the only true whisky was the original open-2000-268 single malt, produced in the traditional way and, nowadays, increasing numbers of discriminating drinkers are exploring these single malt whiskies in much the same way that more people are learning about wine.
