 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Information - scotchwhisky.net
A Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the product of one specific distillery and has not been mixed with whisky from any other distilleries.
The greatest concentration of malt whisky distilleries can be found in the Speyside region of north-east Scotland, with Highland, Lowland and Islay being the other main malt whisky producing zones.
Each of these regions has its own particular distinctive style of malt whisky and although it is not possible for two malts to be identical, even if the distilleries that produce them happen to stand side by side, it is usually possible to distinguish in which region of Scotland a particular whisky was made.
